How Long are you a qualified widower? Filling out taxes for my Mom and my Dad passed away in 2022. Turbotax is considering her single for 2023.

For the year that your father passed, your mother could file a joint return---so for 2022 she could file a joint return. For 2023, unless she has a qualified dependent, she files Single. (With a qualified dependent she could file as a qualifying surviving spouse for 2023 and perhaps for 2024)
