Use Form 1310 to claim a refund on behalf of a deceased taxpayer. If you are claiming a refund on behalf of a deceased taxpayer, you must file Form 1310 unless either of the following applies: You are a surviving spouse filing an original or amended joint return with the decedent, or You are a personal representative (defined on this page) filing an original Form 1040, Form 1040A, Form 1040EZ, or Form 1040NR for the decedent and a court certificate showing your appointment is attached to the return. If you checked the box on line A, you can return the joint-name check with Form 1310 to your local IRS office or the Internal Revenue Service Center where you filed your return. If you checked the box on line B or line C, then: Follow the instructions for the form to which you are attaching Form 1310, or Send it to the same Internal Revenue Service Center where the original return was filed if you are filing Form 1310 separately. If the original return was filed electronically, mail Form 1310 to the Internal Revenue Service Center designated for the address shown on Form 1310. |
