Should a federal return be filed for $288 report on W2?

This is for a deceased person.

No, if the only income they had was $288 from a W-2, you would not be required to file a final return for them.  You would follow the same filing requirements as filing a regular return.  Single filers must file if income is above $14,600 and married filing joint filers above $29,200.  For more information, see the link below:
