It looks as though I do not need to file the form 1310, per the IRS website: If a refund is due to the decedent, it may be necessary to file Form 1310, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer with the return. If you're a surviving spouse filing a joint return, or a court-appointed or court-certified personal representative filing an original return for the decedent, you don't have to file Form 1310. Court-appointed or court-certified personal representatives must attach to the return a copy of the court document showing the appointment.
It looks as though I just need to file by mail and include the Executor Short Certificate
