My husband died last year..the house was in his name only so when i filed i didnt claim the house. Do i need to do anything?

You can file a joint return for the year of the death.

Normally the house would transfer to spouse on a death (but depends how it was deeded).

Many are taking the new higher standard deduction this year so the house may or may not help.

I assumed you already filed but look at the Sch A for 2017 and if it is over $24,000 you might want to look closer at this.

Sorry for your loss.
