• Debt for Deceased Taxpayer

    From Stuart O. Bronstein@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 26 15:23:13 2024
    OP's parent died owing money to the IRS. OP inherited some money from the estate. I don't know if the tax debt is for one year or more. OP is look
    for how to pay (up to the amount of what was inherited) the parent's tax
    debt.

    Should they just file a final return and send in what they can? Or is
    there some other approach? I looked at Publication 559 but couldn't find anything helpful - perhaps I missed it.

    Any thoughts? Thanks.
