Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Someone needs to be the personal representative, which is court-appointed, the executor of a will, or anyone in possession of the decedent's property (the latter I would assume applies to you).

 

You can simply prepare the Form 56 and mail it in and then apply for an EIN online for the estate.

I believe only TurboTax Business supports Form 56.
