In my case, husband and wife were married just a few months and husband died. Trustee/executor paid $5,000 with extension request and return shows a $2,000 refund. I was wondering if we could put the trust bank account information on the return and couldn't find anything saying that we could not.</P><P>Trustee/executor decided to let the surviving spouse get the refund and adjust for it when the estate is distributed.</P><P>A friend was speaking to someone at CAMICO who said the biggest claims they have relate to electronic refunds going to the wrong account. Privacy laws prevent a bank from revealing the name of the account holder whose account number was accidently put on the return.</P><P>I know from experience that if the bank won't accept the refund, both IRS and FTB will send a paper check.</P><P>Many words to say - "I don't know"Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:15:08 GMTMary Kay Foss
