On the tax forms they ask you if your spouse is living or deceased, but they don't ask you if your spouse is a zombie. I think this is a major oversight on the part of the IRS.
Something to note: The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 has a rider on it (popularly known as the 'Til Death' clause) that required that all "Supermortem Americans" (Zombies, Vampires, Ghosts and the Resurected[excepting through Reincarnation]) file seperately from former spouses. This is mostly due to incompatibility issues between the Social Security system and the Posthuman registration system. (Although like SSN and TIN, it is still a 9 digit number).
