First, my condolences for your loss.

If you are the personal representative for your mom, then you would prepare her tax return in the same manner it previously has been.

When you enter her personal information, you will come to the "Do any of these apply to XXX" screen You will need to select Passed away before filing her return and enter the date of passing.

For more information, you can review the IRS Tax Topic 356, Decedents, linked to below:
