Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I have TurboTax Home & Business for desktop for 2020 tax year. I have basically completed the tax return for a deceased family member.
The Personal Info tab shows "passed away on 07/21/2020"
I ran the Review tab which says: "IRS Rules Don't Allow E-filing of Your Federal Return"
Further it says: "Here are the details: The taxpayer is deceased and the return shows a refund is due. To e-file this return, Form 1310, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer must be completed.
The good news is you can still print your federal return and file it by mail. Next, we'll see if your state return can be e-filed."
Really??? The GOOD NEWS is you can print and file your return? This is GOOD NEWS?
Then why does TurboTax say to e-file this return, Form 1310 must be completed? I cannot find Form 1310 anywhere. I just opened TurboTax a few minutes ago and it updated my software.
This seems to contradict the previous posts about Form 1310 being available within TurboTax.
I bought the most expensive version of their software and it is incomplete and/or has contradicting and confusing messages regarding e-filing with Form 1310.
