Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Your father's taxes would be filed as usual, including using his social security number. Include income only up to the date of death that he actually received before death. When filing you will answer the question about whether he is deceased and enter the date of death. 'I'm preparing this return for ______, who has passed away'
Any question that asks about the whole year, you would consider only the time he was alive (as though it was a whole year).
If there is a refund, then Form 1310 will also be included with the tax return.
