Question
If my wife died half-way through the year, and she made income, does she have to pay income tax?
AI accountant’s answer:
I am sorry for your loss. For the tax year in which your spouse passed away, her income up until her death is subject to income tax. You will need to file a final tax return on her behalf, which is due on the regular tax filing deadline (usually April 15th of the following year). If you were married and living together, you may still file a joint return for that tax year, which includes both your income and her income up until her death. In this case, you would report her income and any applicable withholdings, deductions, and credits as you normally would on the joint return.
