This is another reason why I pay for your channel!
Thanks a lot. Very Helpful.
You're welcome!
Perfect information, I appreciate it
Glad it was helpful!
. . .and what are the precise steps up filing these?
Is this form used for filing a claim on the cestui que trust, empty it out after a parent passes? No will. Solo adult offspring. Detail please. Thx
What about just to stop Voluntarily giving my money to the irs ? Nobody, to this day can show me the law that says one Must be robbed by the irs !
What if it was a testate estate that isn't going through probate? Do you check 1a or 1g?
What other documents can you submit if your power of attorney will not satisfy the irs and has not been appointed by the court
Another fine video Jason. Thank you. Allow a question please.
Taxpayer passed away in January, was 69, single, no dependents. His older brother is the person responsible for the final returns. Gross Assets about $1M. Do we file Form 56 and then need a POA (2848) to pull transcripts and past return data? Can this all be done at once?
Is the docket number the estate case number?
WHERE IS THE ADDRESS TO MAIL OFF
What’s the difference between a Personal Representative vs Executor when handling a will ? If the court appoints one as Personal Representative is that entered under 1G Section A under Authority form 56. Thanks
What about line 1e? I have a durable power of attorney and am also listed in my mom's will...what line do i use and what do I send in with 56? Thanks
After filing numerous forms to get my late mothers final refund for her 2020 refund I was told they couldn’t talk to me without a form 56 being completed. I completed & faxed in the supporting documents in early January but still haven’t received anything back. I need this to even speak to someone as to where her refund is & why I have not received it. Is there any way to find out the status of this form?
Sorry they put seal notary but no number
What would I need to attach if I'm the trustee of a trust and not the executor of a will. I thought a trust avoided probate court. Also, I live in Texas and the deceased is in Florida. The reason I'm submitting this is to prove I'm the fiduciary since some annuity companies want only " letters of testamentary" from the probate court. Confused???
I want to file the 1040 on behalf of my mother. I'm her only child. Would I be able to just attach the death certificate to this form and mail it to the IRS or do I need to go to court. My mother passed away with less than $100 to her name.
What if it's a corporation you want to list as fiduciary...can this be done...🤔
I am the court appointed personal representative for my mom's estate. The will was unfortunately messed up a bit so my sister and I agreed to independent administration. She has a simple estate. Do I need to file the 1310 along with this form?
Also the other part to this is I have not received the refund for my Mom's taxes from last year even yet, and we filed those before she died (June 15, 21). IRS sent me a letter saying that since one looked photocopied they needed another form (it was actually blue ink on one page and black ink on the other, which they deemed photocopied). I sent another form to them, since she had made a couple thank goodness. But its been 4 months and I still have not received the refund. Also when I try to log into her online IRS account which I could previously, it says this account does not exist. I think think since she worked for the government and retired with them that the IRS knows that she is deceased and has not released the funds from 2020 taxes then. So will filing this form 56 take care of last years return also or do I need to do something else?
thanks!!
It is possible the return might still be in processing. The IRS has a large backlog of returns, so many returns and notices are still in processing. If you need assistance dealing with the IRS, please contact our office at: info@knottpllc.com
I have 2 deceased relatives and have to fill out this form for each.
Can it only be submitted online because I don't see a mailing address?
Thank you
The Form 56 must be paper filed and mailed to the IRS. You mail the form to the IRS office where the deceased taxpayer would be filing their Form 1040. So, you should look up the Form 1040 mailing addresses given the deceased taxpayer's state of residence, and then mail the Form 56 to that IRS office.
My mother recently died "testate" having a valid will in Texas. I'm her only son and child. She is due a refund of $3,188 (social security withholdings). Do I have to fill out Part III Court and Administrative Proceedings? Will the IRS accept a copy of the will along with the death certificate or do I have to go to court and go through probate? The IRS won't talk to me about the refund at all. I thought that was the whole purpose of having a will, it looks like to me that the IRS won't accept the will, it appears they want a court certificate that says "yes this will is valid". Any input would be appreciated!
I have a situation where my brother and I are co trustees / co executors for my deceased parents Irrevocable trust. My father passed away last year. Do my brother and I each need to create separate form 56s for my father and the thrust (a total of 4 form 56s)? We have already gotten an EIN # for the trust. Thanks for your help.
You should file this form and sumit it to the US. Tresury, Social Security Adminstration and IRS. Good luck
It u are filing for a deceased taxpayer and the person has no estate or any assets. Would the one u check off for form 56 be the fiduciary of interstate estate? Basically I filed the tax return and the 1310 form as my brothers next of kin. Do I need form 56 to be submitted to talk to the IRS about the situation? I am just next of kin beneficiary not an administrator or executor.
Yes, if there is no will or court appointment, then you are acting as a fiduciary for an intestate estate of a deceased person.
My dad's surviving spouse filed the joint return and collected it to herself, before I had a chance to see it sign 1040 or submit a form 56.
Do I still need to file a form 56 for the decedent 1040?
Or do I just submit a 56 for the estate 1041, if I am the PR?
Also does this 1040 return need to be reported in the 1041 for the estate?
What if you are a domestic partner with a will do I need to fill out a 1310
Also I just realized the estate account I had to open up from selling my Mom's personal property may change the form---Do I need to add the E.I.N to the form 56? It has about 2k in it. Is that income? Or is it the interest from the account that is income? thanks
You must file a separate Form 56 for each. File one Form 56 for the decedent (final Form 1040 filing for the decedent taxpayer using their SSN), and file a second Form 56 for the decedents estate which is created after death (need an EIN and will be filing a Form 1041).
I have a question. My mother died last year, and I was the executor. Her income was less than 10k. I notified the IRA last March that I would not be filing an income tax due to income level by letter and that she died. I did not know about this form. They sent me a letter asking for this form. So, do I need to file a 1040 although her income level was 10k? Also, I did not originally file form 56. So, can I just file this form with partial revocationor leave that part blank? Thanks in advance.
I feel like I'm right there with you. What I'm doing now is filing this form to then fill out and file the 1040...because my lawyer constantly reminded me that, "I have a fiduciary responsibility to fill out these forms and close out and and all pending accounts". Sorry about your mom and good luck during this process.
@@kwaymack13 I ended up not filling out the 1040 but sent a letter explaining why and did fill form 56 and also sent to IRS. Everything turned out well. The house I sold needed to be claimed on my income tax but no tax because I did not wait long to sell it.
Can I use this in a ssdi hearing to apoint the judge as fiduciary?
In social security trust
Where do you mail it to?
Same place you mailed you 1040. Address is on your tax
