CAN I FILE 2017 TAXES FOR DECEASED PARENT?

[jerry2000]

The tax year 2017 version of Turbotax will not be available until late Nov/early Dec of 2017.

and the IRS will not start taking 2017 returns until mid to late Jan 2018

depending on the worth of the estate and other situations ( income received after the death of the decedent, you may have to file a final federal and state tax return in 2018 -- tax year 2017 filing , and  Estate return ( generally within 9 months from the passing of the decedent -- federal and state ) -- Federal requirement is 5 Million  but the State can be different  e.g. MN is 2 Million and if you have to file the state Estate  then you also have to file a Federal one -- does  this cryptic  points  make sense or do you need more detailed explanation ?
