The final tax return must be filed

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The final tax return for the deceased person must be filed within six months of their death or before April 30 of the following year, whichever is later. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. The deadline may be extended if the individual died in a fiscal year-end other than December 31st or if the estate has lost its first filer status. It is not necessary to wait until the estate is settled or until the last asset is distributed to file the final tax return.
