Inactive records and reporting

Inactivating a record does remove it from reports.  So there is no impact to reporting

Inactivating a record does remove it from Lists created with List Manager.     Inactive records are included in Extractions unless otherwise suppressed.

We've decided if a person is deceased and is the only person on the account that we will update their status as deceased and inactivate the record with a deceased type.  Our development department is concerned about how this effects reporting, especially when it comes to reporting on contributions.  Can anyone shed some light on this for us?  I can't seem to find much on the forums beyond how other organizations identify deceased patrons.

Thanks!
