CAN I FILE TAXES FOR MY DECEASED SON

I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

Yes, you can file your son's return for him in TurboTax.  You will need to create a new login in TurboTax for his return.
 

During the interview you will see a screen Do Any of These Apply to [your son's name]? 

  1. Mark the box Passed away before filing this return. 
     
  2. Enter his date of death in the box provided and click Continue.  
  3. As you continue through the interview TurboTax will ask you for additional information if needed.

If you missed that screen, you can enter the information in the Personal Info section:

 

  1. Click on the Personal Info tab.
  2. Click on Edit next to your son's name.   
  3. In section #3,  A few other things we need to know, mark the box that I'm preparing this return for [son's name], who has passed away.

The following FAQ contains additional information on e-filing a return for a deceased person if he is due a refund: Can I file Form 1310 in TurboTax?
