为已故人士提交最后报税表
当家庭成员去世时, there are many decisions that need to be made and many emotions to handle. 人们最不愿意考虑的事情就是税收.
Unfortunately, even the deceased can’t escape taxation. If the departed family member earned taxable income during the year in which they died, 然后可能要缴纳联邦税. An executor or a survivor must, therefore, file a final federal income tax return (Form 1040).1
类似的, if the deceased individual had a sizable estate or assets that might generate income in the future, 遗产可能欠税. Federal estate tax forms pertaining to the decedent’s estate may need to be filed (Form 1041, 形成706).1

所得税
The Internal Revenue Service generally gives you until April 15 of the year following the taxpayer’s death to file a final 1040 form. 如果死者结婚了, a surviving spouse has the option to file a final joint federal tax return for the last year in which the deceased lived.2
If you file the return online, the 国税局 provides instructions on all of this. 如果你提交的是纸质申报表, 你必须写上“已故”,死者的名字, and the date of death at the top of the 1040 form. An appointed personal representative and/or surviving spouse must sign this return per 国税局 guidelines. 如果是退款, you may need to file a Form 1310 (Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased 税payer).2,3
遗产税
如果地产足够大, Form 706 (the United States 房地产 税 Return) is due to the 国税局 within nine months of the death of the deceased, 准许延期六个月. The individual federal estate tax exemption is $11.7 million for 2021, so an estate smaller than $11.7 million may not be faced with estate taxes unless the deceased individual made substantial monetary gifts before their passing.4,5
When the decedent’s estate has an executor or administrator (in 国税局 terminology, “获委任的个人代表”), 他们必须为死者在申报表上签字. 如申请联名申报表，配偶也必须签署. Alternately, a survivor of the deceased can file the return.2
If an estate generates more than $600 in gross yearly income within 12 months of that taxpayer’s death, 也有必要提交表格1041 (U.S. 遗产及信托报税表), usually by April 15 of the year after the year in which the individual died. Should 100% of the income-generating assets of the deceased be exempt from probate, 无需提交表格1041. 房地产s required to file Form 1041 should consult a tax professional.1
Lastly, there are some cases where expenses paid before death can be deductible. 在某些情况下, part of the cost of treating a final illness may be deducted on the deceased’s final federal tax return.1
