If the efile will not go through then you will need to paper file the return.

Just file your tax return normally. In the dependent interview, there should be a check box for "this person died during the tax year."

If you have tried e-filing and are blocked, then you just can't e-file. Print your return and mail it. Sometimes the IRS blocks the social security numbers of people who have died to prevent tax fraud.
