I was able to e-file for my mom in April of 2019 for tax year 2018 (dad died in March of 2019-so he was alive for all of 2018). But for some reason, I can't e-file now for 2019 (tried twice and both got rejected). My dad is listed first, my mom under "joint/spouse." After the first rejection, I sent in the forms/papers (7+ weeks ago) and it was never received. I was going to switch out the primary taxpayer to my mom, but it appears from another poster that that didn't work either. So, I'm going to mail them again and see what happens (I'm thankful for the extension time). I'm not sure if I'm relieved that I'm not the only one having this problem, or feel sad for everyone else going through the same thing. Dealing with a death, COVID-19 and now not being able to get the taxes done promptly, just adds to the stress.
Question to Turbo Tax Expert: My mom's worksheet didn't show her as a Widow with spouse dying in 2019. Is that correct or should it show that information?
