the parents are not responsible as long as you sign nothing stating that you will pay. The IRS should know of his death already. However, the next time a notice comes in the mail, mail them a certificate of death; or go the IRS office near you and give them a copy of his death certificate. So sorry for your loss. My son was 37 and passed away unexpectedly last year. Please look for a group to help you through this pain.
