How would i go about obtaining my mother's W-2 form?Does a child still have to file their recently deceased parent's taxes?
Whoever is the executor of the estate is required to file a final tax return, yes.





The W-2 should have been mailed to your mother's last known address. If you haven't received it within the next couple of weeks, you'll need to contact her employer.Does a child still have to file their recently deceased parent's taxes?
The W-2's should have been mailed to her last known address, and usually a family member has been getting her mail. If she filed last year, then you should prepare a ';final'; return, indicating the person is deceased, and there is a form to designate the person filing to show their authority to receive the refund, if any.
Yes a deceased persons taxes are required to be filed. It can be done by a blood relative or someone not related to the deceased. As for the W-2, contact the employer for those forms.
The executor of the estate is responsible for this.
