Signature protocol for deceased's 1040, where 1310 shows Part1, C as marked and part II, lines1 and 3 marked "Yes." It is the spouse who is filing... I 'm thinking signature followed by "personal representative."

If it is the surviving spouse, why not Part I A marked instead of C ? If it is the surviving spouse filing wouldn't it be signed "surviving spouse" instead of personal representative?

They are not requesting a refund reissued only in her name... and that what A seems to say

They are MFS....

They are not requesting a refund reissued only in her name - really sounds like you are trying to correct something. If this is an original return for a MFJ return, the 1310 is not required. See page 80 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf

OR Just use help that can be found here using "survivor"
