Field help: Date of death (if deceased)

Enter the date of death if the taxpayer passed away in 2025.

Important: In the year of death, tax liability generally ends on the date of death. Therefore, only income earned up to that date is considered in the income tax return.

Note for relatives and heirs:
The heirs or an estate administrator must submit the tax return for the deceased person if there is still an obligation to file a tax return.

In the event of death, the tax office may request additional evidence, such as:

  • death certificate, 
  • certificate of inheritance or other proof of succession,
  • documents relating to pensions, capital gains or other income.
