State Estate Tax Return for the Decedent's State

user17708874208 — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 21:14:46 GMT

I am the personal representative for an estate. I live in a different state from the deceased person. The Turbotax program (TurboTax Business 2025) wants me to file the state tax return in my state. I need to file in the deceased's state. How can I get the program to generate a return for the deceased's state?

Have the tax return open, then follow the steps below.

Open your business return in the TurboTax Business software.
Click on the State Taxes tab at the top.
On the screen showing your current state, look for the option to Add Another State

Note: You may be prompted to pay for a state outside of your own state. If you already paid for the state you may need to try to contact TurboTax.

How do I contact TurboTax?

Thanks. I tried this, but I don't see a "screen showing your current state." But I'm not going to pursue this because I found out that Turbotax doesn't have an estate income tax form for the state in question.
