Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am trying to file my Mother's taxes for 2020.  My Father passed away on 1/1/2020.  Acoording to Turbo Tax we can still file as Married filing Jointly.  We have tried to do so 3 times but have been rejected each time since my Father's Social Security number is flagged as being for a deceased individual.  We have set my Mother's filing status to Widow (which she was at the end of 2020) - she has not remarried.  Should we just redo the taxes as a qualifying Widow?
