Final tax return netfile

The CRA now allows for electronic filing for final Tex returns in the year of death, however Turbotax does not allow this. I called the support line and there was no clear reason why this is the case. I now have to print and file which is very frustrating. This is a restriction that should be removed from Turbotax!

The CRA allows for electronic filing of final returns through E-File. TurboTax uses NETFILE, which doesn't allow filing a tax return for an individual who died in the tax year or the current year (2022 or 2023). https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/netfile-overview/eligibility.html
