I tried editing, per your first suggestion (changing "married" to "widowed") and my e-filing was rejected a second time.
Didn't want to jump through the hoops of filing two people separately, so I'll just file via snail-mail and reconsider whether TurboTax cares enough about their customers that they deserve my business.
Given Intuit refuses to do anything about the problem their software has, the TurboTax "we're sorry about your dead spouse" boilerplate condolences (when you click that box) are at best worthless--at worst, outright offensive.
I mean...they actually gather all that information and verify it with you!
I don't need their condolences, I just need their software to work.
