Get your taxes done using TurboTax

 

If your spouse passed away in 2024 you can file a joint return for 2024.   If you lost your spouse in an earlier year, the reply below applies.

 

 

 

If you do not have a qualifying child that you are claiming as a dependent, you file as Single.

 

The standard deduction makes some of your income “tax free.”  It is not a refund.  You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2024 Form 1040.
