NEW DELHI: Who will file the income tax return (ITR) after the death of a taxpayer?
The Income tax Department has clarified that under the rules, whoever is the legal heir of the deceased person will have to file ITI in the name of the deceased. This return will be filed for the income that has been earned in the name of the deceased person.
For this, first of all, the successor has to register himself legally. The heir can not only file income tax return in the name of the deceased person but can also claim refund.
