Thank you

An EIN is an employer identification number. It is sometimes also called a federal tax ID number. It will be on any W-2 or on some other tax documents. What are you trying to do?

So you need a Tax ID?

I did get an EIN/TIN for my mother's estate.

I have TurboTax Deluxe for Windows. I open the app, then select Start a New Return, then Continue without Transferring. Then I select Continue, and next is some misc questions, name, birthdate, zip code, etc. At the Do any of these apply? question, I select the Passed away before filing this return box and a Passed away date box is added. I enter 05/08/2020 and I receive a Please enter a passed away date in 2021. The software won't let me go any further. How do I get the estate forms?

The estate return (1041) must be prepared using TurboTax Business. See .Which TurboTax do I need to file a return for an estate?

The fiduciary of a domestic decedent's estate, trust, or bankruptcy estate files Form 1041 to report:

The income, deductions, gains, losses, etc. of the estate or trust.
The income that is either accumulated or held for future distribution or distributed currently to the beneficiaries.
Any income tax liability of the estate or trust.
Employment taxes on wages paid to household employees.

To do a 1041 Estate/Trust return you need Turbo Tax Business. It is a separate program from Home & Business. It is not available to do online or on a Mac. You can buy the Window's version here…..
