Just efiled a 2022 and 2023 personal return where that taxpayer was killed in an accident in 2023. IRS will not allow the return to be accepted because it says the taxpayer is deceased. How can I get this return efiled? I know the taxpayer is deceased however he still has to file his tax return and report the money he earned before he passed away

Doesn't the reject say the SSN is locked?

Returns will need to be paper filed.

If the SSN is locked already, paper filing is your only option.
