On the decedents final income tax return for the year of death the same as in previous years.

You may want to read IRS Pub 559 for Survivors, Executors and Administrators.

Publication 559 is designed to help those in charge of the property (estate) of an Individual who has died (decedent)? It shows them how to complete and file federal income tax returns and points out their responsibility to pay any taxes due.

A comprehensive example, using tax forms, is included near the end of this publication.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for Publication 559, Survivors, Executors, and Administrators

What tax form do you need for medical write offs?

Schedule A is Itemized Deductions. It's the form you use for, hopefully, writing off medical and dental expenses. The first section on Schedule A is 'Medical and Dental Expenses'. The instructions for Schedule A, as well as IRS Publication 502 (Medical and Dental Expenses), list which expenses can be included on Schedule A and which can't. Also, you only can deduct the part of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5 percent of the amount on line 38 (adjusted gross income, AGI) of Form 1040.

How are bills paid in order of priority after death?

The heirarchy of debt payment by an estate varies from state to state. You should check the law in your particular state because that schedule must be followed by the administrator or executor. An EXAMPLE of the priority of payment is as follows: expenses of the administration; funeral and medical expenses; an allowance for the decedent's family's immediate needs; government claims, such as for taxes; secured debts, such as a mortgage; any unpaid court judgments against the decedent; and finally, the remaining debts of the decedent.


If you win a lawsuit and have to reimburse the insurance company for medical expenses can you deduct those medical expenses?

You should be able to claim the medical expenses against your income tax, but there are limitations. You may have to claim them for the year that they were incurred. Which may mean you have to re-file taxes for that year. And Medical deductions are subject to a percentage offset. Consult your attorney, who should tell you when you get your award, or consult a tax expert. I gather what happened is you had medical expenses that were originally paid by (say your) insurance company. And instead of subrogation, you continued the lawsuit and won. The money you won had to be returned to the insurance company that already paid you for it (recovered). It is all going to offset - you can't deduct the medical expense unless you claim the income from the insurance company paying you for the lawsuit. But, the easiest handling would be just like any other covered medical expense...your insurance deductible and such costs are income tax expenses if they are above the minimums (unlikely).
