Can a wife claim on her late husband's tax?

By Marc Sevitz · Updated 9 July 2013

When a spouse dies (it was after the tax year), is the spouse entitled to claim this? If so, would it need to go through the estate or would it go directly to the spouse? This with being married "in community of property"

The executor of the estate would submit a tax return and if there was any refund due this would go into the estate and be distributed according to the wishes on the will.
