My husband passed away June 28, 2016 and I am not sure how to start filing this year. I need instructions on how to list a deceased persons income along with mine.

I just don't know how to start.

I am very sorry for your loss. 

For 2016, you would file Married Filing Jointly and enter the information as you normally would. On the TurboTax Personal Info screen, edit your husband's information to include the date of passing. 

Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for additional instructions. Also, read the Related Information FAQ's.
