I don’t understand this answer, and I believe it is incorrect. Various living expenses of the person, such as magazine subscriptions and storage costs, are never tax deductible. Medical expenses that were paid in 2021 would be itemized deductions in 2021, and medical expenses paid in 2022 would be itemized deductions in 2022, even though the dependent passed away in 2021.
I can’t see anything that would be gained from amending the 2021 return. There is nothing that could be added to the 2021 return except for medical expenses paid in 2021 (if the taxpayer did not previously include them).
