Change Process Spouse return

I added deceased spouse and chose to file spouse return together.  I now need to delete the spouse and return to filing a single return for widowed status. The program will not let me do this.  How can I "reset" this return?  I Have printed a form so it now counts as a return.....

If your spouse passed away in 2023 or earlier you will need to create a new account with a new User ID since you can no longer file as Married.

 

If your spouse passed away in 2024 then you can file the 2024 tax return as Married Filing Jointly.
