I have already filed my taxes and received my return -- how can I file for my brother who died in November. Can I file for him on my account and, if so, how?

I have his documents, but I cannot find a place to start a new process for him on my account. Help?

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.

 

Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.

If you are going to use the TurboTax online editions, you will need to create a new account with a new User ID for his tax return.  The same email address can be used on up to 5 online accounts.
