I am trying to find information about electronically filing a tax return for a deceased person. Can I file electronically?

I entered “deceased” on the search filed. “deceased taxpayer” popped up with 29 items. Unfortunately none said anything about “deceased” in the title.

Yes, you can Efile your joint return for 2023.  You don't officially 'sign', but enter your 2022 PIN or AGI, which TurboTax will fill in for your automatically if you transferred your 2022 return. 

 

Here's more info on filing after a Death in the Family.

 

So sorry for your loss.
