My father died in August and did not leave behind good documentation of what he did and did not do. Since he took care of both my mother's and hs finances, I will now be doing my mother's and his taxes for 2023.
I was wondering if we can get any waiver of penalties for not paying taxes in advance. I know that he did make quarterly tax payments earlier in the year. But since I don't know how much he needed to do for the year or why, I have not done any since his death. So naturally I am concerned that we will have penalties because I did not know what to do.
Are there any other things to be aware since the tax return will be a joint return for my mom and dad for 2023. They did sell a house before he passed but luckily their gain was less than the allowable amount for a married people ($500k).
