Mr. Simpson died on September 26, 2019. Mr. Simpson failed to file tax returns for tax years 2017 and 2018. The Simpsons divorced in 2017. Mrs. Simpson filed her tax return using the Married Filing Separate filing status. Who is responsible for filing Mr. Simpson’s final returns?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Whoever administers Mr. Simpson's estate is responsible for filing his final tax returns. Mrs. Simpson is no longer responsible for Mr. Simpson's tax filings, they divorced 2 years before Mr. Simpson died. Mrs. Simpson is not including in her tax filings any of Mr. Simpson's income, deductions, etc., so she is considered a separate entity. The person in charge of administering Mr. Simpson's estate, it might even be Mrs. Simpson, must file Mr. Simpson's final tax returns. Not even death saves you from paying taxes.
