Thank you for your response. Several people who have had the same rejections have gone back and put themselves as the primary name and the deceased spouse as the secondary. I think one woman is correct when she says the deceased spouse’s social security number is flagged by the government —in my case because I had to tell Social Security that he had died to stop his S.S. checks. When we try to e-file with our deceased spouse as the primary, MAYBE it is the social security number that is sending the I.R.S. a red flag and not the Pin Number.
