Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, Qualifying surviving spouse, once termed qualifying widow(er), is a tax-filing status that allows a surviving spouse to benefit from the same tax rates as married couples filing jointly, for up to two years after the year of their spouse’s death.
If you filed a joint return for 2023, and have a qualifying dependent child, your filing status can be 'Qualifying Spouse' for 2024.
Make sure you have entered yourself and your dependent child correctly in the Personal Info section.
