Get your taxes done using TurboTax

First, my sympathy for your loss.  Since your husband had not reached the age to take the Required Minimum Distribution, you can treat the IRA as your own.  This means you can start taking the RMD in the year you reach the requirement age.  Secondly, you will file your 2022 tax return as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ).  You husband's date of passing will be printed on top of page 1 of Form 1040.  You will sign as "Surviving Spouse".
