Do I need to amend my return? I selected my spouse died. It said sorry for your loss and asked what year. The state returns does not show my spouse as deceased.

Please clarify @rbr6596 by telling us what state you are filing. State forms are all laid out differently so it's possible the information may be on another part of the form, such as the signature line.

Form MO-1040 includes a box to show one of the filers is deceased. It's right above the address line.

 

 

Missouri requires additional information as well:

 

In order to claim a refund for a decedent, the following documents are required:

  • Refund check payable to decedent;
  • Completed Federal Form 1310, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer;
  • Death Certificate; and
  • If requestor is a personal representative, verification of appointment.

Send all required documentation to Missouri Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 2200, Jefferson City, Missouri 65105-2200.
