JSU77 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Client became a widower in January, 2007. Remarried during 2007. New wife has two kids. The deceased wife had 2007 income. I assume that I file him MFJ with the new wife. How do I file the deceased wife? Quote

LindaB Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 From pub. 17: "If your spouse died during the year, you are considered married for the whole year for filing status purposes. .... If you remarried before the end of the tax year, you can file a joint return with your new spouse. Your deceased spouse's filing status is married filing separately for that year." Quote
RoyDaleOne Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Are you saying that the decreased wife had income sufficient in part of one month to owe income taxes? If you have "1099" income it is most likely that new accounts were not setup at the time of death and therefore include income not belonging to the decreased wife. Quote

RoyDaleOne Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Pickie Pickie, I thought this was a friendly site now I am being to have my doubts? I guess when I assume that creases come about naturally if you live long enough was not correct. LOL Hey, I am a friend guy. Quote
Booger Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 Don't worry, Roy. I was just joking with you! Booger Quote
