It sounds like your spouse passed away, and you are filing as a surviving spouse. Is that correct? If so, I am very sorry for your loss. 

According to the error message, you need to check the box indicating that you are a surviving spouse. You can access this in the My Info section (left-hand menu bar) in TurboTax Online. Once you check the box, please resubmit.

Hi, where would I find the box indicating that I am a surviving spouse? I cannot see it anywhere. 

Description of error:

I also can't find the surviving spouse "box" that must be checked. I've gone over and over "My Info" several times... no where. Can you specific where to find this? I've also entered it into the search bar with no luck.
