These people have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.

It's time for all of us who are or will be subject to Trump's Tariff attack to boycott as many American products and businesses as possible. Support local and then support products and businesses from Trump's other Tariff victims.

Yes. Was half joking. But .. I wonder if the IRS can go after a child in the same way they could go after a spouse? (Were they filing jointly, so it was really her taxes as well?) Also likely depends on the way the estate is handled, and if there’s any money to pay the taxes that may be due. Lots of room for variation on this theme.
Caveat: I’m not a lawyer, and don’t play one on TV.
