I am very sorry for your loss.
If the deceased person didn’t receive much income in the final year of life, less than $12,400 for someone who was single and under 65, and less than $24,800 for someone who was married filing jointly, you don’t have to file a federal income tax return for the deceased. This minimum threshold is also called the "standard deduction.
Even if a return isn’t required, you should consider filling one anyway if a refund is coming. A refund may be due if tax was withheld from the deceased person’s salary, pension, or annuity.
If you've had a death in the family, TurboTax can help you prepare and file the family member's final tax return.
