Lots of questions about the stimulus payment for someone who died during 2007, MFJ, surviving spouse, etc...
I'm not going to shoot my mouth off until I've read up on it, but I don't see why they wouldn't qualify. MFJ is MFJ is MFJ. If the guy was alive during 2007, then it's an MFJ return. There's nothing in the ESP legislation that disqualifies this type of return.
As for a single person who died, I don't see why the executor or personal representative couldn't file the return. Good luck cashing the check, though. Better use Form 1310.
Geez, what if someone died last week? I don't see why it makes a difference. The entire Internal Revenue Code is still applicable, and it applies to returns that qualify for the stimulus payment. Dead people file tax returns all the time. The new legislation doesn't say you have to be alive to receive the advance refund check.
In my will, I have explicitly stated that no grave marker may be erected until after an individual income tax return has been filed for me for the calendar year of my death. The grave marker itself, above my name, will bear the words Final Return.
I have suggested that perhaps the setting of the stone could take place on April 15 of the year following my death.
