Father Passed Away

State: Texas

 

My father passed away December 29, 2020. He was divorced for over three years. I have two questions:

 

1) Can you file taxes together if you are divorced? Is this legal? His current ex wife is trying file taxes with his information but I have not given her a copy of the death certificate. Any info would help. 

 

2) I am his son from first marriage. Does someone have to file his taxes for the the 2020 fiscal year since he did work as a teacher until his death? If so, who would do this and if he owed money who would pay for it? Thank you for any information.

 

Very humble and respectfully,

J.E.

 

Thank you
