Its way too late now...if the IRS didn't attempt to force a tax return filing by now, its not going to happen. What kind of assets did the deceased own, and how were they distributed without probate?

PRobate should have been opened or the executor of the estate should have filed in 2003 at latest. That didn't happen. LD or others may be able to go into more detail and explain whether it is too late to file. You definitely wouldn't get a refund back.

Was pretty sure there wouldn't be a refund being its been that long ago.
