cpabsd Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Client's spouse died in February of 2007. They can file as MFJ still. The software is requiring a pin for the 8879 for the deceased spouse. I have the date of death listed on the Filer's info page. What am I missing?

Jerry W Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 You may use any five digit PIN except all zeros. This should satisfy the software. Jerry W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's asking for the pin because the return still requires a signature on both lines if it's a joint return. The surviving spouse would sign on both lines of the 8879 just like he or she'd have to do on the 1040. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
