Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your wife died in February 2024, you can still choose to file as Married Filing Jointly.  If you file as married filing jointly, then your standard deduction would be $29,200 if you are under 65.  You can add $1,550 for each spouse over 65 if you are over 65.

You will need to go back to the personal info section and select that you want to file a joint return.
