Get your taxes done using TurboTax

TurboTax would not have directed you to a form 1310, since, according to the form 1310 instructions (extracted below), it is not required.

 

Who Must File 

If you are claiming a refund on behalf of a deceased taxpayer, you must file Form 1310 if: 

You are NOT a surviving spouse filing an original or amended joint return with the decedent; and 

• You are NOT a personal representative (defined later) filing, for the decedent, an original Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR, or 1040-NR that has the court certificate showing your appointment attached.
