In 2016 TurboTax, "Filing as surviving spouse" shows on the line for the deceased instead of the line for the surviving spouse.

My mom (the surviving spouse) is filing Married Filing Jointly and this is in TN.  I tried putting my dad (the deceased) as the primary filer and then switched that to my mom as the primary filer, and in both cases, "Filing as surviving spouse" shows on the signature line for my dad and has his occupation to the right.  Isn't "Filing as surviving spouse" supposed to be on the signature line for the surviving spouse?
