USA Nine years of taxes not filed

[gabisdaddi]

Hi.

A New York family member passed away recently and we later learned that 2003 was the last year the family income taxes were filed.

After submitting a few 4506T's, we have the transcripts for 2004 to 2012.

Now we don't know what our next step is. No IRS office within a ninety minute drive has a tax preparation specialist.

We're not even sure if we *have* to file for all those years. We do know, though, that one year they cashed in a mid five figure investment.

Is there someplace online where the requirements for filing, year by year, is listed?

Also, if anyone has any advice, it'd be welcome

Thanks!

GD

If someone is deceased, I'd imagine that it's a closed SSN now as far as the IRS is concerned. I'd leave it alone. Nothing better than a tax notice coming for someone who really 'can't pay it'.
