Form 4810 is not electronically filed with the tax return. It must be printed and mailed to the IRS Center where the tax return was filed.
When a taxpayer is deceased, their personal representative becomes responsible for the decedent's taxes. Any individual income tax, gift tax, estate tax, or any other remaining tax debt becomes the sole responsibility of the personal representative.
The IRS ordinarily has 3 years from the date an income tax return is filed, or its due date, whichever is later, to charge any additional tax due. However, the personal representative can file Form 4810 to request a prompt assessment, reducing the time for making the assessment to 18 months from the date the IRS received the request.
Once the the IRS has completed its assessment, the personal representative may then distribute the assets of the decedent.
