Let's start by checking if you're eligible to e-file with the 1310 form. Generally, if you're filing a return for a deceased person and claiming a refund, you can e-file if the software supports it. (26 U.S.C. § 6402) However, some situations might require mailing the return.

So, in order to file my federal taxes, I need to mail the taxes in with the 1310 form?

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand that filing taxes can be a bit overwhelming. Have you already completed the 1310 form, or do you need assistance with that?

Yes, I have.

Lexi, Chatbot

Are you filing as an individual or on behalf of someone else?

I'm filing for myself and deceased husband.

Hello! I'm Attorney Philip, here to assist you with any legal questions you may have. I understand you're filing for yourself and your deceased husband and need to mail the taxes with the 1310 form. Could you share more details about any specific steps you've already taken?

I have used TurboTax to do my taxes and I'm trying to e-file my taxes. I have filled out the 1310 form, and TurboTax is asking about charity donations. We have two boats that I have switched over to my name, but the form keeps coming up. I need to find out if I can e-file or just mail it in.

Could you let me know if TurboTax is giving you any specific error messages or instructions about the 1310 form or the charity donations? This will help us figure out the next steps.

The charity donations form keeps coming up.

It sounds like TurboTax might be prompting you to review or complete the charity donations section. Let's try this:

Go back to the section in TurboTax where it asks about charity donations.
Double-check that all fields are filled out correctly, even if you didn't make any donations.
If you didn't make any donations, ensure that the fields are marked as zero or left blank as required.

Once you've done that, try proceeding again to see if the form still appears. Let me know how it goes!

It is not letting me clear anything off the form.

Phil (Immigration Phil)

It seems like TurboTax is having trouble clearing the charity donations form. This might be a technical issue with the software. I recommend reaching out to TurboTax's customer support for more detailed assistance. They should be able to help you resolve this issue so you can proceed with your filing.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. I'm here to help!

Thank you.
