How to approach tax returns for deceased estates
The deceased estate return is used to report income of the deceased estate and to claim any tax refund or franking credits owed to the estate. It is often confused with the date of death return and the tax returns for a testamentary trust. We work through the approach that should be followed and explain the key issues.
