My parents both died in 2021,  my dad in April and mom my in November.  The tax prep company prepared a 1040 listing both their names and deceased.   We want to use turbotax (as we do on our own) and are wondering at this point how to do taxes for 2022  on The Estate of... since both are deceased? is this on form 1041?    I have an EIN number.

    I am sorry for your loss. You first need to determine whether a return is required to be filed for one, or both, of their estates.

     

    See https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1041#en_US_2022_publink1000285942

     

    You should also note that an EIN is applicable for only one estate (i.e., you would need a separate EIN for each of your parents).
