I'm sorry for your loss.  TurboTax will ask this question when entering the personal information on your son.

You can also go to the Personal Info Summary to add this information:

  1. Click on the Personal Info tab.
  2. In the Personal Info section, click Edit next to your son's name.  [See Screenshot #1, below.]
  3. On the screen, Your Personal Info, go to 3.A few other things we need to know.  [Screenshot #2]
  4. Mark the Yes button next to I'm preparing this return for [name], who has passed away.  Enter the Date passed away and click Continue.
