My mother was deceased in May 2015. Due to complications her estate was not settled until 2016. How do I file estate tax as the trustee?

If the estate must file a 1041 tax return, then you must use TurboTax Business.

I recommend that you read IRS Pub 559 (Survivors, Executors, and Administrators) for guidance.
