    usually, for a final tax return, you have to mail it in. you can't e-File.

    did you enter date of death in Personal Info ?

    If you’re filing a return for someone who's passed away, there are some additional forms you’re going to need when you file. 

    First, you generally need to file the last Form 1040 on behalf of the deceased person (also called a decedent return) along with any applicable state resident return. The information on this return is used to report taxable income and deductions until the date of death of the decedent.  TurboTax link: https://Forms you'll need when filing a tax return for someone who's deceased has information you may find useful.

     

    If your deceased son is due a refund you will have to file Form 1310.  This TurboTax link https://Can I file Form 1310 in TurboTax?has the directions on how to file Form 1310 if one is required.
