“There is nothing that the IRS has that is preventing someone who is deceased from receiving this money,” said one tax preparer. The IRS is sending $1,200 stimulus checks to deceased people. Yes, their loved ones are allowed to keep the money.
Many Americans are eagerly anticipating stimulus checks of up to $1,200 starting this week, but in a few cases the recipients won’t be celebrating — because they’re dead.
In Florida, tax preparer Adam Markowitz has also seen examples among his clientele of the IRS sending stimulus money to dead people this week. It’s important to remember some of the stimulus check guidelines to understand how such a twist of events can occur. “The IRS claims it is going to take the data from your most recent tax return that is available,” Markowitz said. “If a taxpayer filed jointly with a deceased spouse in 2018 and has not filed a 2019 tax return yet, the IRS likely has no safeguard in place to ensure that it won’t make that payment to someone who is no longer with us.”
