Very sorry for your loss. We cannot see your screen or your tax return, and do not know who Hugh was. Please provide some details.

Who is Hugh? How is he related to you? Generally, yes. If someone was able to be on your return as either a spouse or dependent and they passed away during the year, you can still add them to your return as if they were alive. You would need to check the box that says they passed away during the year in the personal info section.
