Do i still need to sign and manually file form 1310 by mail if the e-filed return was accepted by the IRS?

[SamHouston76]

It appears that Turbo Tax has allowed me to "sign" form 1310 using today's date.

There is no, and will be no, official court appointed rep.   I have death certificate and original will where I am named beneficiary.

so it appears to me that a manually signed form 1310 is not required under these circumstances?

The 1310 is usually required to re-issue the refund in the name of the beneficiary, so you can cash the check. If the taxpayer's SSN was not "locked" yet and you can e-file, you should not need to send the paper form unless the IRS writes you for a copy or the check is issued in the wrong name.

My condolences on your loss.
