Relative died intestate in 2015. Estate opened in 2016 after probate hearing. TurboTax adds Estate Created date as 2015 date,is there a way to revise Estate Created date?

Estate could not be created until 2016 after probate hearing, seems that should be the Estate Created date. Especially if the length the estate is open determines if further documentation may be needed.

You can override the date but, technically, an estate is created on the date of the decedent's death.
