It wasn't but it is now. TT Expert Help assisted me on the fix, however no matter whose name goes first it still shows "filing as surviving spouse" on the deceased signature line. Explanation: The signature line for the surviving spouse needs to be blank. Tax expert confirmed this is correct. Additional: When my name was second, TT would not allow me to proceed to file state return as it incorrectly stated I had to file separate state returns for me and spouse. Once I put my name first, it allowed me to file joint state return.
