The IRS recently addressed a question regarding an Economic Impact Payment being sent to someone who was deceased. From the IRS Economic Impact Payment Information Center:
Q: Does someone who has died qualify for the payment?
A: No. A Payment made to someone who died before receipt of the Payment should be returned to the IRS by following the instructions in the Q&A about repayments. Return the entire Payment, unless the Payment was made to joint filers and one spouse had not died before receipt of the Payment, in which case you only need to return the portion of the Payment made on account of the decedent. This amount will be $1,200 unless adjusted gross income exceeded $150,000.
