Stimulus check for deceased child

By Terry Savage on December 27, 2020 | Wild Card

My 32 year old son died on December 7. Just 2 weeks ago. He did receive the last stimulus check and has direct deposit. When the check gets deposited into his account, how do we send it back. I am authorized to access his checking account.

Terry Says

Oh, I am SO sorry for your loss. Wait until the stimulus check arrives. If he was required to file a 2020 tax return (or his estate does) then he might be considered qualified for the check. It can be deposited in the account of the estate, if it arrives, and you can wait until the IRS contacts you.
