How do I file a return for my deceased mother? I can't seem to file a second return

I have already filed my own (married) tax return. My mother passed this year and I need to file for her, but I can't seem to file a second return on TurboTax. I don't want to have to create a fake email etc just to do my mother's taxes.

If you are using an online TurboTax version, each account can only file one return. 

 

You don't have to use a different email but you need a separate account to file for your mother. In the My Info section, you will indicate that you are filing for someone who has passed.

 

I am sorry for your loss.
