Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Personal Information section. If you are filing jointly, it would be a good idea to make yourself the taxpayer and your husband the spouse so that next year your name will come up first on the tax return. If he died in 2023 and you did not remarry you can file jointly with him.
When you open your tax return select to review or edit your personal information
Next to your spouse Edit your spouse's information and scroll to the question 'I'm preparing this return for XXX, who has passed away'.
Enter Yes and then put the date your husband died.
See the image below for assistance and TurboTax will file the return appropriately. Only you will be required to sign the return,
I send my sympathies to you.
