How do I fill out my deceased husbands return on TurboTax?

Assuming your husband passed away in 2014, you will do his return the same as usual, but input the dat of death.  You will add all slips applicable to him and you can still use pension-splitting if applicable.  The CPP death benefits would be reported by you, his beneficiary rather than his estate.  You should mail in the return with a copy of the death certificate and will if he has one to allow you to sign and file on his behalf. You can also file a T1013 to give yourself access to his account should you need information from CRA.
