You can do whatever you like @loeden but you MUST file a final return for your mother and that return will have an END date on the date of her death. Everything up until that point....income, expenses, depreciation....is reported on that return and EVERYTHING AFTER that date is reported on the estate return or on your return depending on the circumstances......annnnd don't forget that the estate can reimburse you for expenses you paid out of your own pocket for expenses that the estate should have paid.
