Be sure to print and sign the return as with YOUR name "Personal Representative" for your mothers name. There is no way to sign a e-filed return properly for someone else. If getting a refund, you might also need to attach a 1310 form (Statement of person claiming a refund for a deceased person.)
Suggest that you read IRS Pub 559 (Survivors, Executors, and Administrators) for a lot of good information about filing the final return and estate return and other requirements.
