@mcgore83 I am so sorry for your loss.
First you may have answer a few questions ( and this I recognize may be painful , so please forgive the intrusion).
(a) Are you working or retired ? If retired is Social Security your only income ? Or do you have other income streams ? if not retired do you have W-2 or are you self-employed ?
(b) Assuming that you filed MFJ in 2023, are there dependents in your household ?
(c) When did you wife pass ? Is there a large Estate involved ? Do you have to go through probate -- your state generally dictates this ( the amount is lower than the federal requirements ).
for 2023 , did you file using TurboTax On-line or using downloaded Windows version ? Do you have access to your 2023 filing ( in paper form or otherwise )?
Please answer my questions. Then if I cannot help you sufficiently, I will call on other champs or experts -- yes ?
I know what you are going through , having lost my wife in 2024 .
