Yes. The IRS requires it, usually the executor of the estate will handle such matters. In the event that the executor isn't named in the will, then it will usually fall to the surviving spouse, or to the children to file the taxes.

Someone is the personal representative.
If your mom normally had a filing requirement, then yes, someone will need to file for her. You count all income received up through the date of death. (Any income received after date of death is the estate's income.) If your mom was single, no dependents, and under age 65, she needed to file for 2007 if her income was $8750 or more. (The estate's filing requirement kicks in at $600.)
If she was single, the personal representative will need to attach a form 1310 to get a cashable refund check.
If she was married, the husband can still file a married file joint return.
See the instructions in the 1040 for how to notate the return.

you're unlikely to be waiting to injury HR Block. What precisely grew to become into the errors? it might have been spelled out interior the letter you acquire from the IRS. you do no longer supply any specifics nor do you're saying which 3 hundred and sixty 5 days it is for. Any tax preparer can basically be precise as a great way because of the fact the education presented through the tax payer. If some documentation grew to become into no longer presented through your mom whilst the taxes have been filed, that must be the clarification. She might have given incorrect information to the tax preparer or they misunderstood her. Whose mistake grew to become into it? we don't be responsive to - study the letter from IRS to work out why there have been extra taxes. Or bypass lower back to dam and ask them to describe it to you.

if she made over the minimum income required yes you will
this is one you shoudl get professional help as you mayl need to file form 1310 and possibly include probate document or death certificate. If there was a probate and its not closed there will probably be a need to file an estate tax return until the probate is settled

Yes you do for 2007. Also you will annotate her taxes as "Deceased with the date of Death". You will sign her return as either the Administrator or Executor. Sorry about your loss.

Whoever handles her estate must file a 'final return'. This is very similar to a normal return, but must show that it is a final return. I recommend having a professional assist with this.
