Thank you for your post....it did save someone from potential tax return rejection....me. I'm filing for a deceased parent this year and when it came time for the ID fraud protection section I wasn't sure what to enter...mine or my parent's. It was unclear but a google search and coming upon your post answered my question. State has to be filed by paper but federal was accepted. Thanks.
Would be helpful if instead of "you" being used as you fill out the sections for the deceased person, the deceased person's name is used throughout from start to finish because you do enter that info right at the start so the program knows. Not that you'd get confused in the tax form sections because it's the deceased person's taxes your filing but if it's his/her name used from start to finish all the way through to the ID fraud section, it's just consistent and there's less confusion.
