to Pearls65- I have EXACTLY the same experience. I was on with Turbo Tax support for over 3 HOURS yesterday and this problem has obviously not been reported to the support group as they were totally unable to deal with it. I was first told to manually back up (no help) . Despite the fact that I kept telling the nice but clueless support person that I am in fact as Personal Rep allowed to efile per irs.gov, after going around and around with him, he told me that the "tax laws don't allow" me to efile. I also learned from irs. gov that I needed to write "Deceased" after my late father's name.
Then, like Pearls65, I opened my program today , added "Deceased" after my father's last name on the personal info part , went to the review part and was told that I can efile only if I check Box C on Form 1310, which would be used by someone who is not a Personal Representative.
My question to Turbo Tax is- a tax return for a deceased taxpayer is efiled through the Turbo Tax program, is Form 1310 included with the information sent to the IRS. ?
