Unless regulations have changed, I'll file taxes for my deceased in the next 2-3 weeks. If Turbotax does not allow that, I'll revert to good old paper.
You can't file a 2022 tax return yet, not even on paper. The tax forms for 2022 aren't available yet. And the IRS will not accept 2022 tax returns until January 2023. It's an IRS limitation, not a TurboTax limitation.
If you are filing a 2021 tax return for your mother-in-law who died in 2022, you can do that now with TurboTax. You do it the same way as you would do your own tax return, but in the personal information section you check the box saying that she died before filing the return. If you have to file a 2022 tax return for her, you will have to wait until January 2023 to do that. It is simply not possible before the end of the year, by TurboTax, paper, or any other method.
You cannot use your own TurboTax Online account to file for your mother-in-law. A TurboTax Online account can only be used for one tax return. If she did not have her own TurboTax Online account, or you do not have access to her account, you will have to create a new account, or use the CD/Download TurboTax software.
