18 July 2016 filing of returns for income earned by the deceased includes income till the time of death.Legal heir has to help the tax department with assessment proceedings. In case of a deceased person, the legal heir of the deceased person has to file income tax return for the financial year. Legal heir has to register with Income Tax to do an e-Filing on behalf of the deceased. Usually, spouse or close relative of the deceased takes charge as the legal representative. Else, in case of will of the taxpayer who has passed away, the executor is held responsible.
