I misspoke. I am not filing as executor on behalf of my father, I am helping my mother file her joint tax return. As executor, it's my duty to make sure a tax return is filed for the deceased, which my mother is able to do (with help from me on the computer).
Even if TT fixes this - if your father was receiving SS benefits and the SSA has been notified of the death (as they should be) then they will have "locked" the SSN which will also prevent e-filling but with a different reject code. E-file with a locked SSN is prohibited by the IRS.
