Posted this question a few days ago, got no response...  Client died 2019, daughter filing 1040 with Form 1310 to claim refund of $4k plus and direct deposit it to her bank acct. The rules say she can do this if she submit the death certificate with the return. The question is, how do I upload the death certificate into pro series basic in order to e-file. Or should print and file everything by mail, which would take her forever to get her refund in today's environment. Long but I had to cover all the points.

From the Form 1310 instructions:

Do not attach the death certificate or other proof of death to
Form 1310. Instead, keep it for your records and provide it if
requested.

Thanks for that. I think I'll try e-file w/o certificate and see if that works.
