Economic Impact Payment sent to Deceased Taxpayer
On May 6, 2020 and again on May 26, 2020, the IRS revised their guidance on what to do when an Economic Impact Payment is sent to a deceased taxpayer. The newest guidance states that an Economic Impact Payment sent to a taxpayer who dies "before" receiving the payment should be returned to IRS, and provides directions on their website on where to return the payments. See https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center#more). for guidance.
