Someone I know died in January 2017. Must a tax return be filed for him?
An income tax return must be filed for a decedent if his/her gross income for the year of death was over the filing threshold based on the person’s filing status at the time of death. A surviving spouse may be able to file a joint tax return with the decedent.
