Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Correct, you would enter all of his income earned in 2022 on your joint return.
When entering your spouse's personal info in TurboTax, there will be a checkbox to mark that your spouse passed away in 2022. You will be asked to enter the date.
According to the IRS:
Who should sign the return
When e-filing, the surviving spouse or representative should follow the directions provided by the software for the correct signature and notation requirements. For paper returns, the filer should write the word deceased, the deceased person's name and the date of death across the top. Here's who should sign the return:
- Any appointed representative must sign the return. If it's a joint return, the surviving spouse must also sign it.
- If there isn't an appointed representative, the surviving spouse filing a joint return should sign the return and write in the signature area labeled, filing as surviving spouse.
- If there's no appointed representative and no surviving spouse, the person in charge of the deceased person's property must file and sign the return as "personal representative."
Reference link: IRS website
Standard deduction for 2022 for married couples filing jointly is $25,900, 65 or over $27,300 Blind: $28,700.
For single taxpayers, the standard deduction is $12,950 for 2022, 65 or older $14,700 Blind: $16,450.
I would suggest confirming the amounts with the IRS periodically, the information they currently have on their website is not 100% complete.
