Tax Help and Government instructions both state that a decedent's estate is entitled to a $600 exemption.  If I check the "Final Return" box, the $600 exemption disappears.  I believe that this must be a software problem as the instructions from the IRS provide a $600 exemption for a decedent's estate without regard to whether it is a final return.

I would appreciate any input regarding this.

Thanks,

Richard
