I'm wondering if anyone prepares a final return even if the deceased taxpayer had gross income below the filing requirement amount?

Same issues as for a living person. Will the family be more comfortable avoiding an IRS reminder? Do they want to get past the statute of limitations? Did a short period of employment trigger EIC? Kids or ex-wife snooping around? You know, whatever.

Yes, especially if they've been filing in previous years.
