IRS Account Access: Need help updating deceased father's account after closure

For a deceased taxpayer's account, you'll need to submit Form 56 (Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship) to the IRS. You'll also need the death certificate, letters testamentary or court documentation showing you're authorized to act on behalf of the estate. Call the IRS at 800-829-1040 to inform them of the situation. They might require additional forms depending on your specific circumstances.

Hey, I know dealing with tax stuff after losing someone is rough. I recently used taxr.ai to help me figure out my dad's account situation. It's only $1 and it helped me understand exactly what forms I needed and next steps. Check it out at https://taxr.ai - saved me hours of confusion

im in the same boat rn. the wait times on the phone are insane 😤

Make sure you have power of attorney documentation too! Learned that one the hard way lol

just went thru this last month. pro tip: call right when they open at 7am EST. way shorter wait times 💯

Sorry for your loss OP. Its rough dealing with bureaucracy at a time like this 😔
