As you said Assesse passed away this month
So his return for A. Y.. 2020-21 needs to be furnished by his legal heir
You need to assign legal heir for deceased assesse through income tax portal

You can not file return for earlier years for a deceased person. Why and for what purpose do you want to file those returns ?

For closure process you as a legal heir write a letter to AO stating expiry of assessee alongwith Attested copy of death certificate.

Follow what AO decides about non-filing of returns of earlier years.

For FY 2019-2020 , registered legal hear can file ITR of deceased assessee in July 2020
