Survivor Tax Filing Simplification Act
This bill creates an online portal to help surviving spouses and estate executors prepare and file their taxes after a death. The portal will offer tools like checklists, pre-filled forms, and secure document uploads while automatically connecting with Social Security death records. To support this system, the bill also establishes a grant program to help states improve how they record and report death information to the Social Security Administration.
