filing for deceased family member

I am trying to figure out whether Turbotax will work for me to file income tax for a deceased relative. According to the site I cannot netfile. It seems that I cannot even print a copy without "duplicate" written all over it. Thanks for any help.

I am sorry for your loss.

 

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) doesn’t allow returns for the deceased to be sent via NETFILE, they must be mailed. 

 

The copy that says “Duplicate” on it is for your reference only. To get a copy of the return to mail to the CRA, select File > NETFILE or Print from the bottom of the left side menu. Then you need to continue on to the page titled “[Name], you I want to print and mail my return u are ready to file” and click the “Start” button. Then select “I want to print and mail my return” and then continue until you get to the “Print and mail your CRA return. You're nearly done!” page. There you can download a version of the return that can be mailed to the CRA.
