Signing tax for both parents passed

ksalito — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 01:18:04 GMT

My step-dad passed in March 2019, then my Mom followed in May 2019. The signature line on the tax form shows "filing for surviving spouse", but there is no surviving spouse. I am filing as the executrix of the estate. This is their final taxes for 2019, not estate taxes.

How do I change how the form is signed?

So sorry for your loss.

In the MY INFO section, you can indicate that you are preparing the return for someone who is deceased (screenshot).

You can sign as a Personal Representative. Click this link for more info on Signing a Tax Return for a Deceased Person.

I can't seem to find the page you are showing, my screen looks like this. Is there a way to change to the view you show in your example?
