FOR FILING A RETURN FROM THE GRAVE


Note: Eventually every taxpayer must face that time when his assets become fully depreciated, and must be liquidated that time for filing a final return and disposing of the remains of his assets. If its already too late, you may file a return from the grave. Warning: If you think your case is closed, and that you can rest in peace, you might be dead wrong. The IRS may conduct a posthumous audit at any time to exhume and examine a return from the grave.
