Form 1310, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer. Form 1310 doesn't have to be filed if you are claiming a refund and either of the following applies to you.
• You are a surviving spouse filing an original or amended joint return with the decedent.
 You are a court-appointed or certified personal representative filing the decedent’s
original return and a copy of the court certificate showing your appointment is attached to the return.

I believe the diagnostic will not prevent the filing. Do the pdf attachments of death cert and court cert.


Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
