After you file

The way you worded your question is confusing.  When you say "I filed taxes for my deceased husband" do you mean you filed a tax return in only his name as well as filing a joint return for both of you?  Or did you file only a joint return and say on it that he passed away in 2017?  Where did you list alimony paid?
