Try this.  Delete all your personal information and your spouse's information.  Then re-enter your information first.  Select "Widowed" for the filing status.  Then add your spouse's information. 

 

You are considered married for the entire year in the year of death so "Married Filing Jointly" should be presented as your filing status.
