@rjs actually the year he passed he did not have a job in 2020 or 21 to even file taxes he did not file a final tax return neither did she for him his mother just let it be done. So in that case yes it is owed to someone because she took that money from his account that they paid him as a deceased text payer that had a child dependent that was not living however I was taking care of the child during that time and always have for 16 years. I actually talked to another tax expert and someone else that is an accountant and they also told me the same thing that the above stated I have to amend my prior year tax return because in our divorce decree it clearly states that I am allowing him to claim one child and I will claim one for tax purposes. I agreed on that because had he paid child support or had one or either of our children by any of visitation guidelines then he would be entitled to tax credits but he did not he didn't even have a job at the time of his passing sadly. It never says about anything about either one of us dying though we kept it plain and simple as we could have for being married for 15 years, so thank you for your help!
