So sorry for your loss. You can file a joint return for the year that your spouse passed. For the following two years, you can file as a Qualifying Surviving Spouse IF you have a dependent child or step-child. If you do not have a dependent child, you file as Single.
If your filing status changes to Single it is best to start a new account with a new user ID. It is too difficult to delete the embedded information from a spouse if you use the same account that was used for past joint returns.
