I need to do my brother's income tax. He passed away. Can I do it on this program?

First, I would like to express my condolences on the passing of your brother.

Yes, you can file your Brother's taxes using TurboTax. You will need to set up a separate account for his Tax return.

As you start the TurboTax interview, under the Personal Information section, you should choose "I'm preparing this return for ______ who is deceased". Next, you should enter the date of death. From here you can prepare his return as you normally would.

I suggest that you read IRS Pub 559 (Survivors, Executors, and Administrators) for a lot of good information about filing the final return and estate return and other requirements.
