Kea Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Client's father had been living with them for several years. No income besides Social Security & she paid for (almost) all his support. He passed away in March 2010. I didn't see anything on the dependent sheet to indicate date of death. It shouldn't matter because he is still determined to live with them for 12 months (right?). I would just have to remember to take him off the return next year. Do I need to show date of death somewhere? If so, where? Will they match up to Social Security records? Thanks Quote
GeneInAlabama Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 I would simply do as you mentioned and show him this year and not next year. I don't think anything will be matched. Quote
Kea Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Posted February 20, 2011 I filed and still showed him in the house for all 12 months. It was accepted. Now I just have to remember to take him off next year. Neither ATX nor TaxWorks has a field for DOD on the dependent page. I wonder if others do? Not a big deal as long as it works without it.

Crank Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 You could always put a comment in the comment section of the return or create a note to remind you next year. Quote
Kea Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Posted February 20, 2011 Yes, I know I can note it on the file. It's just a extra step -- granted a small one. Quote
