Lion EA Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Client passed away this year; 2015 on extension. Daughter who's a lawyer is the executor. Dad usually owes (will get to his returns Friday, I hope.) Do I need to mail anything in with an 8453? Such as death certificate (US citizen passed away in the US; would think they know he's dead, but...) or court papers with her appointment? Sorry. I know I could look this up, but still have six complex returns in less than five days. So, hoping someone knows this off the top of their head after dealing with it this year. [Message just popped up that my sister fell twice and is in the hospital -- IL, I'm in CT -- head injury, four staples, fever, UTI, bruises, chest pain, and more. Nurse said chemical stress test is abnormal and referred to her cardiologist. Yikes! What timing to fly to Chicago now. Going to have six angry clients. And, I always prep our own return last after the paying clients and HAVE to file on time to keep my license. Prayers for younger sister Jan, please and thank you.] Quote
Margaret CPA in OH Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Oh my, prayers for your sister and for you, too. Take care of your return, the clients have had 6 months. And without your license, you couldn't help them. 3 Quote
FDNY Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jan, hope she will be OK. Stay positive. Off the top of my head since your taxpayer probably doesn't have a refund and no form 1310 with 8453 and death certificate is required. 1 Quote
Gail in Virginia Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Prayers, Lion! What a terrible time for such terrible news! Quote
Lion EA Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Posted October 13, 2016 Thank you, all. And, if he has a refund, I'm just applying it to 2016 so I don't have to mail anything in this year! Quote

Lion EA Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Posted October 13, 2016 Thank you. It all helps her, helps me. Thank you, all. 1 Quote
Catherine Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Oh, Rita -- prayers for a full and speedy recovery for your sister! IGNORE the clients; they'll still be there next week. If you do any return, finish up your own. Heck, send it as complete as it currently is and amend later if you need to. 4 Quote
