Question

Can I still file as married jointly and claim my spouse who died in July 2018 for my 3018 return ?

Can I claim my wife who deceased in July 2018 as a dependent and file jointly for 2018 ?

Yes you can still file a Joint return for 2018.  But a Spouse is never a dependent.  You just file a Joint return for the both of you combined.
