How did you make out when you filed joint taxes? I was in same situation. Husband owed back taxes from before we married so we always filed separate til he passed. Then i filed jointly the year he passed in 2020 with a 8379 form thinking it would protect my refund. But IRS kept it. I may have to see a lawyer now.
Were you give incorrect adive to filing status? Did IRS protect your refund?
