Spouse passed last year in Nov. still trying to get everything in order as accounts and funds begin to settle.
He was a former Air Force Retiree as well as post office with pension in both. I'm trying to understand when I file taxes this year. What should I be aware of? I currently take care of my grandchildren and file them as dependents. What things should I be aware of to mark on this years tax return? Do I still file married since he passed in Nov. If so where do I mark that he passed in that time? Do I mark head of household this year? or Next year? Are insurance payouts taxed? if so how?
