Ah, the age-old question of whether to file the decedent's return or the estate's. I'm going with both, just to cover all my bases. You know what they say, 'better safe than sorry'.

The personal representative definitely has to file the decedent's final income tax return. I mean, it's the least they can do for the dearly departed, right?

I'm not sure about that. I think they only have to file the decedent's final income tax return. Can someone explain why both returns need to be filed?

I agree with Desmond. It makes sense that they would have to take care of both returns to ensure everything is properly handled.

I think the personal representative has to file both the decedent's final income tax return and the estate's income tax return.
