As posted by @ErnieS0, in order to file a joint Pennsylvania tax return as a surviving spouse, you have to put yourself first on the tax return and your deceased spouse second.

 

To do so, please go back to Personal Info, edit your spouse and replace their information with yours. Then edit your info and replace it with theirs.

 

Please note that you may have to change the ownership of any W-2s, 1099s and other forms in your return so they match the new order. Once you switch the order in personal info everything else will be reversed.

 

Can a PA resident widow file jointly for year spouse died?
