Since he passed in 2016 you still file married filing jointly. You are considered married the entire year that a spouse passes away. 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><BR /> Thu, 06 Jun 2019 10:23:23 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/i-am-sorry-for-your-loss-since-he-passed-in-2016-you-sti/01/670965#M270550 SherekaB 2019-06-06T10:23:23Z
