MY SPOUSE DIED IN AUGUST 2025 AND I CANNOT ACCESS MY TURBOTAX ACCOUNT FOR LAST YEAR (NO PASSWORD, PHONE,EMAIL ACCESS) HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO E- FILE?

@fayebavera , I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  It is a very difficult time especially when having to deal with all the remaining issues and settlements and being alone at the same time.  I know-- my wife passed in early 2024  and am still in the throes of  settling things and relationships.

 Given your situation and this being the first filing post passing, may I suggest that you employ a tax professional.  This puts everything at an arms length and allows you to focus on all the other and pressing things and  heal.  Of course this is my personal opinion --- only you can judge your actual situation.

However, if you choose to do your own, we are all here to support you in any way we can.

 

Regards,
