On your 2024 tax return you need to delete him as a dependent.  In the My Info section of the online program delete the dependent.

So terribly sorry for your loss.   If you are preparing a 2023 return, you have to file it by mail.  It cannot be e-filed.

 

He cannot be claimed on a  2024 tax return so his information should not be in MY INFO on a 2024 return.
