Deceased but still getting interest

[amsanders122]

person I am  filing for passed in 2015 but gained interest in 2016 on accounts that were still open.  Turbo Tax will not let me enter in a deceased date earlier than 01/01/2016, so what do I do?

If this person's estate is still open, then any earnings it would have would be reported on an estate tax return, not an individuals return.

If the interest belongs to a beneficiary, then it is reported with the beneficiary's return. See link below.
