Filing IL State taxes for my deceased mother.

The tax.illinois.gov website says:

When you are filing a return on behalf of a single deceased taxpayer,

  • print the name of the taxpayer on the appropriate line.
  • write “deceased” and the date of death above the decedent’s name.
  • write “in care of,” and the representative’s name and address.

A personal representative, such as an executor or administrator must sign and date the return.

 

My questions are:

     Where is the "appropriate line" (bullet 1)

     Where do I write "in care of" and my address (bullet 3)

 

Turbotax added "Deceased and the date" on page 1 of my 1040 return.  Is that what is being referred to for bullet 1?   What about bullet 3?  Turbotax didn't do anything with that.

Filing IL State taxes for my deceased mother.

Bullet 1 and 2 refer to the heading of Illinois form IL-1040.

 

 

"In care of" refers to signing the tax return in the name of the deceased on the bottom of page two.

 

Make sure that the correct address is reported on IL-1310.

Thank you!  Don't know why Turbotax didn't ask me to fill out the IL1310 form to begin with.
