Qualifying for surviving spouse status
My husband past away in 2023, the filing status I used for 2023 is Married filing Joint. For 2024 tax, I filed under Qualifying Surviving Spouse. I have a child who is in graduate school full time, he is 25 years old and has income over 6K. He lived with me all of 2025. I will not claim him as a dependent. However, when I run TurboTax, it thinks that I can still use the Qualifying Surviving Spouse status through my son. Is this correct? Turbo tax knows his age and he is not disabled. From what I understand, I should file Single. Am I right?
