Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Not close the right answer. I am filing as a qualifying surviving spouse and I believe that the official IRS guidelines and federal tax law, as a Qualifying Surviving Spouse (QSS), you use the $150,000 threshold for Line 32 of Schedule

Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 2(a) and Treasury Regulation §1.2-2(a) mandate that a "surviving spouse" is entitled to the same tax rates and standard deduction benefits as those filing a joint return.

My date of birth is 5/25/60 so this is not the issue. the issue is TurboTax sees only Surviving Spouse not QSS and it uses 75,000 not 150,000 which i am entitled to (I believe).

So my question is does QSS on line 32 use 75,000 or 150,000?
