his next of kin is required to if he had income that year. i even think there's a box to check on the 1040 if that person is currently deceased. my sympathy to you & your family. i know how hard the "technicalities" can be after someone dies. i lost my step-dad 4 years ago & we still get mail for him.

If he was not married and they are his next of kin they should file his taxes. There is a special form for this type of filing. Go to the IRS website, look up the form, download it and them complete. They may have to attach a death certificate with the tax return.

If he made enough money to require a return then the executor of his estate is required to file a return.
