Last month, I filed an extension for a client who has since passed away. I’ve now completed the return, and there is a refund due. The executor will be signing the return, and I’d prefer to have them e-sign so I can e-file it.

However, I’m encountering an issue with Form 1310—specifically Part I. No matter which box I check, I receive an error message. Box B is the appropriate selection in this case, but I’m unable to clear the error.

Do you have any suggestions for resolving this, or would I need to proceed with a manual signature and mail the return instead?

Thank you.
