2 parents passed away, what filing status?

My parents both passed away last year - one in Feb and one in May.

I'm trying to complete their final income tax return. I'm executor of both estates.

Can they still file "Married-filing jointly"?

Billintx,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Losing both parents over a short time can create some difficult times.

I am not sure how this found it's way to the "Family Fun" forum, but it is a family issue, but the fun part does not seem to fit.

Yes, your parents can file Married Filing Jointly for 2007.

i hope i can help you with this site..
