Taxpayer died Nov 2008. There is a personal representative assigned. If the PR and the surviving spouse file a joint return for the deceased, then there will be a Federal & State refund. The refund is from taxes withheld from the deceased since the surviving spouse had only Social Security income of which none was taxable and no tax was withheld.
Can the surviving spouse deposit the refund check , or is it part of the estate and has to be deposited in estate account and go through probate process? State of Oklahoma. Regarding personal income taxes, not the estate tax return.
