Christian Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 A client age 45 died in May of last year. His final return shows an Earned Income Credit of some $442 dollars. He was a single man leaving everything to a parent. Is this payable even though the taxpayer is deceased ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 What would you do with a normal refund? If you died within the tax year, you are considered to have lived the whole year and should claim all credits and deductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks for your reply. Being deceased evidently trumps the requirement of having to live in the country for six months or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxguy057 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Does that go back to the proverbial cliche "you're worth more dead than alive?" Lol! J/K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
