Filing for deceased brother
Yesterday I filed a 1040 for my deceased brother using TurboTax. (He died earlier this year and I'm filing his 2019 returns) I am the court-appointed Administrator handling his final affairs. At the end of the process, TurboTax informed me that I could not file electronically for him even though the website and the IRS site both say this is allowed. I had no choice but to choose the option to file a paper copy and I printed out the federal and state returns. Today I learned that the IRS is not processing paper returns and they strongly encourage electronic filing. My brother is owed a refund and I provided the bank direct deposit info for the estate account I set up for him. I don't need to file a 1310 form since I'm not claiming his refund for myself, but due to somewhat vague instructions I wasn't aware of this as I was inputting the data. Is there any way I can resolve this issue and file electronically?
