Filing ITR for Deceased: What Legal Heirs Need to Know

When someone passes away, their income up to the day they died still needs to be reported to the government, similar to when they were alive, if it meets certain limits.

The legal heirs, like family members or those named in a will, are responsible for filing this.

First, they need to sign up on the tax website as the person's legal representative.

The form to use depends on what kind of income the person had.

Any money made from the deceased's assets after they died is taxed separately.

The deadline for filing the tax return is September 15th.
