So sorry for your loss. If your spouse passed in 2024, you could file a joint return for 2024. Now for your 2025 return---- only if you have qualified dependent children---you can file as a qualified surviving spouse. If you do not have a qualifying dependent child, then you will now file Single.
When your filing status changes to Single, you should start a new account with a new user ID. If you use the old account that was used for past year joint returns, the embedded spouse information will cause lots of errors for you.
Start a new account with a different email, account and user ID. Keep a record of how to access the old account; returns will be saved in that account for seven years.
