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?
