You don't say why your friend needs this form. Form 1041 is for an estate tax return. An estate is a legal entity that exists to receive income and handle the affairs of a deceased person. Think about a person with a lot of ongoing businesses, or publishing royalties, that go into an estate that manages the deceased person's affairs. If you are just talking about a person's last pension check received after they died, or other small things, and they don't really have an ongoing business, the income can usually be reported by the beneficiary as "income in respect of a decedent" instead of needing an estate.
If you do need an estate tax return, you need to buy Turbotax Business for PC. "Regular" turbotax desktop or online for personal tax returns can't be used for estates.
