Question

My mother died, and their return was rejected because her SSN belongs to a deceased person. I checked the deceased box on the return. How can I efile their taxes?

You will have to mail the return.  

  • The IRS has locked the account to prevent fraud. 
  • Her SSN being flagged as deceased (often code IND-931-01) 
  • The IRS requires manual processing to process this final return.
