Do I need to change the signature info for a deceased taxpayer who is the sole officer of a S Corp on the Info Worksheet and add the PR info?

[sjrcpa · Accepted solution]

Yes. A dead person cannot sign the return.

How do I go about that? The surviving spouse is the one that will be signing

[sjrcpa]

Put her name and title as the signer

[Small town]

She is not a member of the S Corp, so what title would I use?

[ehill]

Maybe she is now, if she received the stock, etc by will.

Thank you ehill that is exactly what happened. I never thought to look into that.
