How to File Taxes and Claim Refunds for Deceased Parents

How to File Taxes and Claim Refunds for Deceased Parents

If your parent passed away, you can file their taxes to get back any tax refunds (TDS) they were owed.

First, you need to prove you're the legal heir, which you get from local government offices.

Then, you register yourself on the tax website as the person who can handle their taxes.

You'll need to include all the income they earned up until they died.

Any refunds will be sent to your bank account.

If you're unsure, a tax professional can help.
