If filing a decedent return do I answer questions as if I am the deceased person?

Yes. It’s their return.

If filing a decedent return do I answer questions as if I am the deceased person?

Yes.  You will mark on the form in the personal info section that this person died prior to filing.  Then all the information you enter will be information about them and from their tax forms.  You would not enter any of your personal financial information on the return.
