My wife passed away on 1/24/2018 and had 124.00 in social security income. Can I still file jointly?

Sorry for you loss, you can still jointly, when you enter her information you can select she passed before the filing of your return.

Yes, you can still file a joint return for 2018. The IRS allows you to file as married filing jointly for the tax year, but in the personal heading section, you will need to indicate that your wife passed away during the year. I am so sorry for your loss.
