Did you file your 2019 tax return by mail then?
If so, you may need to enter $0 for the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) amount as the tax return may not have been processed yet.
This may be the reason for the rejection.
You can still file as Married Filing Jointly since he passed away in 2020 so I recommend keeping that filing status as it is more beneficial tax wise.
I am so sorry for your loss.
