If you are the personal representative of the taxpayer's estate (e.g., the administrator, executor, executrix) or the person in charge of the taxpayer property, you will need to file a tax form for the deceased person. You will use one of the 1040 tax forms for the final return of the taxpayer.
After entering the deceased person's name and date of death at the top of the tax form, sign your name in the signature block and add the words "filing as personal representative."
You also need to complete IRS Form 56, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship and send it with the return.
Also if a refund is due then a form 1310 is needed to assure that the refund is issued in the personal representative's name.
