e-file 1040 for deceased??

I realize you need to mail in Form 1310 but can you e-file the 1040 (to get the refund faster)?  TurboTax said you can e-file but it won't seem to do it.  And it won't seem to let me change the bank from the old # to the new estate account #.  Help??!!

There are several reasons why you might not be able to e-file a return with a 1310.

 

If you do have to print and mail, however, you're better off mailing the entire return complete with the 1310 since the refund isn't going to be issued any earlier by e-filing the return without the 1310 and then mailing the 1310 separately.
