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?
QUESTION: 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.
