If he passed in 2017 you can still file married filing jointly. You are considered married the entire year that a spouse passes away unless you remarry. You&nbsp; also may be eligible to use Qualifying Widow(er) with dependent child as your filing status for 2 years following the year your spouse died as long as you have not remarried. This treats your return as a joint return and you can get a higher standard deduction. </P> Tue, 04 Jun 2019 20:16:51 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/i-am-sorry-for-your-loss-if-he-passed-in-2017-you-can-st/01/405932#M167552 SherekaB 2019-06-04T20:16:51Z
