Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Is there a reason you don’t want to file a Joint return? Did you file Joint for 2023? If he passed in 2024, You can file a Joint return the year your spouse died. For the next two years following a husband's or wife's death, the surviving spouse can file as a qualifying widow or widower if they have a qualifying child. That basically lets you continue to use the same tax brackets that apply to married-filing-jointly returns. After the year of death if you don't have a child you file as Single.
