Question
having trouble with Form 1310 for 2025 return with deceased wife in 2025 and deceased husband in 2026
I’m filing a 2025 1040 return. My client’s wife died in 2025 and client died in early 2026. The adult child/estate executor will be signing the return. The IRS instructions say a Form 1310 isn’t required. The software is requiring a From 1310. When I prepare the form I receive an error message requiring me to paper file or file 1040X. I don’t know how to resolve.
If I ignore warning to complete Form 1310 I get a critical error and can’t file. If I complete Form 1310 I get another critical error.
Help!
