i can't get TT to recognize that I am filling out a return for my deceased mom

Mom passed away last summer. I have her login; I filled out her return for her last year. But it does not ask me if she is deceased.

Sorry for your loss.


In the Personal Info section, when you click Continue on the screen where you enter her name and Social Security number, the next screen says "Do Any of These Apply?" One of the choices is "Passed away before filing this return." Check that box, and enter the date of death.
