Kea Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Client's father had been living with them for several years. No income besides Social Security & she paid for (almost) all his support. He passed away in March 2010. I didn't see anything on the dependent sheet to indicate date of death. It shouldn't matter because he is still determined to live with them for 12 months (right?). I would just have to remember to take him off the return next year. Do I need to show date of death somewhere? If so, where? Will they match up to Social Security records? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneInAlabama Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I would simply do as you mentioned and show him this year and not next year. I don't think anything will be matched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I filed and still showed him in the house for all 12 months. It was accepted. Now I just have to remember to take him off next year. Neither ATX nor TaxWorks has a field for DOD on the dependent page. I wonder if others do? Not a big deal as long as it works without it.

Crank Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 You could always put a comment in the comment section of the return or create a note to remind you next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Yes, I know I can note it on the file. It's just a extra step -- granted a small one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
