Ian Bryzek, CPA
How do you correct a prior return after death?
A correction starts with the original return, the new evidence, and a clear explanation of what changed.
An error may emerge from a late form, corrected brokerage statement, or newly found document.
A changed fact does not automatically mean a new filing is appropriate; the evidence and tax year need review.
What to gather
- Copy of original return
- New supporting evidence
- Tax-agency notices
- Proof of payment or refund
Who usually handles what
- Ian can organize the tax reporting question and the supporting records.
- An estate attorney handles title, authority, trust terms, and beneficiary rights.
A practical next step
Send the original and new documents together to Ian for review.
