If a spouse passes away can you list funeral expenses as a write offf on your/their last tax return??

Answer 1

No. Funeral expenses are not deductible for income tax purposes.

Answer 2

No, you cannot. Any funeral expenses would be shown as a deduction on the federal estate tax return (Form 706). Any medical expenses incurred, though, could be deducted on Schedule A of the Form 1040, but you won't be able to deduct them unless they exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income (the bottom line on page 1 of the Form 1040).

Answer 3

Nope..the only thing you can do is pray for a fat check from the life insurance
