After you file

Anna871 I'm so sorry for your loss!  If you have already resubmitted and fixed the rejection, there is nothing more you need to do. You can check your e-file status here. Or you can go directly to the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site for updates, to ensure the IRS did accept it.

 

If you find the tax return being rejected again by the IRS, due to AGI, while a paper return is not required the year after a spouse dies, it usually turns out that way.  Either the IRS doesn't recognize the AGI from the previous year, or Social Security Administration freezes the deceased person's SSN.
