We need help filing our mother’s 2024 taxes. She paid her taxes last year via Turbo Tax and electronic check. The IRS says she did not pay. She passed on 12/30/24.

If you have received an IRS Notice that your mothers taxes were not paid, you can reply to that Notice as it specifies and send them proof (copy of payment withdrawal) that her taxes were paid.

If you haven't received a notice about your mother's taxes not being paid, you should contact the IRS regarding this and start the process to show them that they were paid.  You can call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday.

In the meantime, you should timely file her 2024 tax return to avoid any failure to file and failure to pay tax penalties.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your mother.
