Catherine Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Same elderly widow as my earlier post. Can she sign the e-file authorizations for both of them for the joint 1040? Or does this return now need to be paper-filed? Thanks! Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmabee Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Great; thanks. But if he had died in january that would not be possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxperson Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 But if he had died in january that would not be possible It might be. IRS allows current year decedant efiles. It just depends on how fast IRS gets the updates from SSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainen Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 >>Can she sign the e-file authorizations for both of them<< It is not clear from your two threads [this and My link] that the widow is the executor or personal representative. In my opinion, you should determine that before you prepare forms for signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
