Nothing worked that I tried in this support group. I tried it all multiple times. Finally, I left the box unchecked to say that my spouse had passed away last year. This is not asked for on the actual tax return that is submitted to IRS. If you print out your return and mail it, there is nowhere on the return to indicate that your spouse is no longer living.
I filed without providing that information and both federal and state returns were accepted immediately via eFile.
Then I went back in to my return to check the box that my spouse had passed away during 2019, so my return would have that information for next year if I decide to use Turbo Tax again.
