Court-Appointed representative e-filing

I am the court appointed representative for my mother who passed away in 2021.   I previously notified the IRS using form 56 and supplied the court papers.    TurboTax  provides the message below regardless of whether I fill out a 1310 or do not.     I do answer the question as to whether the IRS has previously been notified with 'Yes'.

 

"IRS Rules Don't Allow E-filing of your Federal Return"

and then tells me to do a 1310.

 

I realize I can print and send it, but it's not what I purchased the product for.   My understanding is that the IRS does allow e-filing for a deceased person.
