That basically lets you continue to use the same tax brackets that apply to married-filing-jointly returns. After the year of death if you don't have a child you file as Single. To file Single you need start over with a new return and new account. And don't transfer from the Joint return.</SPAN></P><P class=""><SPAN class=""><BR />See How to file if your spouse recently died<BR /><A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/small-business-processes/file-return-spouse-recently-died/L5ehM358X_US_en_US?uid=lcuxmxwq" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><SPAN class="">https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/small-business-processes/file-return-spo...</SPAN></A></SPAN></P> Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:53:31 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-can-i-file-a-joint-2025-return-if-my-husband-passed-away-in-2025/01/3771874#M1401414 VolvoGirl 2026-02-11T20:53:31Z
