The U.S. Treasury Department is using 2018 and 2019 tax returns to determine who gets stimulus payments. This method of determining who should receive stimulus checks has resulted in some payments going to taxpayers that are deceased. If you have received a stimulus check this week for a deceased person, you are going to be required to return the money. The IRS has not yet issued guidance regarding how heirs should pay these funds back or how they intend to collect. This may be done by reversing a direct deposit or by mailing a new letter requesting the funds back. We will be closely following IRS guidance for any updates on this situation.
