I went through this in 2013, but my parents were not in disarray. I would add that State taxes can be quite a pain too. I live in Maryland, and the State limits are quite a bit lower than Federal. I don't think I had to pay Federal, but State got me. The lawyer filled out the State forms, I just had to sign and write the check. Tried to get the lawyer to write the check, but they said nice try, but no. That check hurt to write, but I had to tell myself to suck it up, if they didn't leave you money, you wouldn't have to pay now.
