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.

You may be getting the message about not being allowed to e-file the return due to another issue. Both decedent's returns and Form 1310 may be electronically filed.

Take a look at the following TurboTax article for more information about when a return cannot be electronically filed:

When a tax return can't be e-filed no matter what you do

It looks like the only thing that would apply here is "Contain non-final form'. When I print form 1310 it has a watermark of "Do Not File Form not Final'

Is there any way of knowing when this form will be finalized?
