My husband was the beneficiary of his mom’s policy’s. We file our taxes together. He did receive the excess funds after burial. Does he do a separate tax filing for her? Will he get a 1099 for her? Has anyone been in a situation like ours? Can someone share their experience.
Sorry, but part of the inheritance here has to go to an hour of attorney time. Good luck. Hope you will update us as to what you find out.
Yes, he will need to file taxes depending on Moms income. Was she pulling from that annuity for her room and board? If so, that is now income that is taxable.
I would not worry too much about taxes right now. Not much you can do until all the tax info is in. I would not spend any of her money until you know what her tax debt will be. You may want to talk to a tax preparer versed in estates.
Its nice that your husband used the insurance money for Moms funeral but a beneficiary is not obligated to do this. The money is theirs. Does not need to be used on the holders debts.
