No. It should have nothing to do with your deceased spouse. Last year you should have used the joint AGI from your 2018 tax return, however for 2020 you will use your own AGI from your 2019 tax return.
Review the information below to see what you should use for your AGI.
- Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering $0.
- Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).
- Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.

We suggest that you check with the IRS to make sure that the copy of your return is the same as what they have in their records. To do this, you can order a free IRS Transcript, of your past return from the IRS:
