If he died in 2018, i would think it shoul;d be sent back ,if in 2019, i think you would keep it ,hey maybe that is why some of us are still waiting for our check ,they are sending to dead people!!


If someone passed away in 2019 they were not affected by this virus and shouldn't be eligible for a stimulus payment.

@Spacrazy As a taxpayer, I thank you for doing that.

You really need to contact the attorney who handled the estate.  I can only tell you here, yes it is part of the estate and the estate would have to be re-opened to allow that check to pass to you as the heir.

I handled my dad's estate after his passing last year.

 

 

I closed out all accounts that were in his name.

 

 

 

I suppose that I could ask the attorney who drew up his will though.

The stimulus checks are an advance credit on 2020 taxes. I would say someone who passed in 2019 should not receive one and the right thing is for the heir to return it.

This place is not a source of reliable advice. Why not ask the IRS?

@millieshops You’re welcome and thanks to you as well. You sound like a proud taxpayer as well. Can’t believe the controversy over this - it’s a no brainer and one of the first lessons Mother ever taught me.

@noodleann  because right now they don't even know.  They are the ones that put out an article that they are looking into this issue and will advise what to do.

 

We have attempted to contact the IRS for another issue and all we get is a recording indicating due to Covid-19, no one is available to speak with us and if you have a question, e-mail them.  Like that e-mail is ever going to get answered.
