First, let's clarify if your wife passed in 2024 or 2023.
If March 11, 2024 (just this month) do not file a final return for her until next year.
If she passed in March 2023, file the same way as you normally would had she not passed. If that means Married Filing Jointly, file Married Filing Jointly. Indicate in the "Personal Info" section that she passed in 2023 and enter the date. List you and your late wife the same way you have in years past. If you are usually listed first, keep it that way. If she was listed first, keep it that way. Enter the AGI from the Joint 2022 return.
If she passed in March 2024, file your 2023 tax year return as if she had not passed, since that did not happen until 2024.
Again, file the same way you normally would.
If you are filing a separate return for your wife, are you doing this because you always filed separately or because you think you should since she passed?
Did she pass in 2023 or 2024 and which year are you filing her final return?
Sorry for your loss.
