Can you please provide more information about your problem? What is the exact error message that you are getting? Are you using TurboTax CD/Download or TurboTax Online?
Hi---I am using the CD/download version; error message only tells me that I have used too many characters in the name identification field, and won't allow me to proceed to the actual input of income, etc. figures for the tax return...
The name boxes in TurboTax CD/Download will only accept 20 letters each. Since the person you are doing the return for is deceased, you will have to mail their return. So you can shorten the name to only 20 letters to proceed with the return, and then when you print out the return, you can correct the name on the paper copy.
