Did you: 

  • mark that both are deceased? In the personal section, when entering birthday, etc the program asks if the  person passed away, drop down, enter the date
  • mark how you are legally allowed to file this return? you need to mark that you are the personal representative, court appointed, etc.  Depending on what you are, you have different forms and filings that may need to be mailed in after filing or with filing. When you went through the federal review, the program asks, Who is the In Care of Representative unless you are filing Form 1310.

 

The IRS has a quick  How Do I File a Deceased Person program. It is very detailed and may give you additional information. Caution: There may be a requirement to file an estate tax return. For additional assistance, please refer to Publication 559, Survivors, Executors, and Administrators

I am very sorry for your loss.
