My mother has recently passed away - do I have to wait until the next tax season to file 2023 taxes? And if not will Turbo Tax be available to compile?

We are sorry to hear about the passing of your mother- our sincere condolences.

The final return will tell you whether the deceased owes any income tax. That’s why it’s important to file it BEFORE distributing any assets to beneficiaries. 

If the death occurred between January 1st and October 31st, you have until April 30th of the following year to file the final return. If it was between November 1st and December 31st, it’s due six months after the date of death.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
