He passed in 2014 and I was told I could also claim him in 2015. Is there a special form or should I file as married jointly?

"He passed in 2014" means you can NOT CLAIM in 2015. If you have a dependent child you may be able to file as SURVIVING SPOUSE, but only if you have a child living with you.

You can still file Married Filing Jointly with your deceased spouse only in the year of 2014. You will still be using the normal form 1040. No special form is required. For the tax year of 2015, it depends on your marital status. You may file Single or Head of Household ( if you have a qualifying person), or file married if you remarried.
