Filing for a deceased person - spousal info?

I am beginning to prep my parent's taxes.  My father passed away last May so I have to file separate returns.  When I am using easy step, early in the process it asks for income info for the other spouse (widow) but I don't know those figures until I complete the widows return.  But the widows return also asks for income info for the deceased person.  So it seems like I have to skip those pages for spousal income info and go back to them after I know the final figures for each spouse.  Those pages should happen after you determine taxable info for each spouse.  Am I missing something or do others have similar issues?
