How do you get a copy of a deceased person's income tax returns?
To obtain a deceased person's income tax returns, you must file Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return, with the IRS. Along with the form, you need to provide proof of your identity and your legal right to access the returns, such as being the executor or administrator of the estate. If you're not the executor, you may need to include a signed authorization from the executor. Additionally, you may need to include a death certificate to verify the individual's passing.
If you receive a deceased person's pension do you have to claim it as income?

Is income in respect of a decedent taxable?
Yes. Death does not get you out of paying income taxes in the United States. I do several returns a year for deceased people. This is called a Decedents Return. If the person dies on January 1st they have to file a return for the entire year if they had income over the threshold to file. The Administrator or whomever is in charge of the Estate is responsible to file and pay the any taxes due from the Estate.

How do you report 2008 dividend income for a spouse who died in 2007?
It depends. Money can't really be paid to a deceased person. It can be paid to their estate or perhaps a co-owner of the shares or a named beneficiary. If the dividends were paid into the estate of the deceased spouse, then the estate should have its own Tax ID number and the income should be reported on the estate's tax return. The payer should be notified of the estate's tax id number and should be asked to reissue the 1099-DIV with the estate's tax id number. If the dividends were paid to someone else, for example a co-owner or beneficiary, the co-owner or beneficiary that received the dividends should report them on their own tax return. If a 1099-DIV was issued with the deceased person's SSN, the real technical answer is that the payer should be asked to reissue the 1099-DIV with the correct tax ID number (either that of the estate or that of the person who was entitled to receive the dividends). In practice, it can be difficult to get this done and this situation is handled more informally. If the amounts are large, the person handling the dividends should issue a new 1099-DIV naming the deceased as the payer and the person (or estate) that received the dividends as the payee. If the amounts are small, everybody who received the money just reports it on their own tax returns. A "large" amount would be one that would require the deceased person to file a tax return if they were still alive.

What is the role of an estate administrator?
The Administrator of an estate is a legal term referring to a person appointed by a court to administer the estate of a deceased person who left no will. Where a person dies intestate, i.e., without a will, the court may appoint a person to settle their debts, pay any necessary taxes and funeral expenses, and distribute the remainder according to the procedure set down at law. Such a person is known as the administrator of the estate and will enjoy similar powers to those of an executor under a will. A female administrator is referred to as an administratrix.
Does the person named by the deceased as administrator of will have to file the will?
Yes, the person named by the deceased as administrator of the will is called the executor. The job of the executor is (out of the deceased's estate) to settle all the deceased outstanding debts and pay for the funeral. Then the executor adds up everything in the deceased's estate, pays any outstanding taxes and any inheritance taxes that may be due and presents the account of all this along with the will to a special court called a probate court. If the court is happy with what has been done the executor is then granted a probate document which allows him dispose of the remainder of the estate as the person's will instructs. Without the deed of probate, companies like banks and stockbrokers will not accept the executors instructions to do things with the deceased's property.The filing of the will is the act of presenting it (and the accounts) to the probate court.
