My father is now a resident of a nursing home. He receives SS and medicaid but they both go directly to the nursing facility. Do tax forms need to be filed for him and if so, by whom?

ANSWER:

If all he has is SS/Medicare, he would not have to file. But if he has other income that would cause him to have a filing requirement, he would be required to file and it would be his (or yours if you are in that position) to file his taxes.
