I am a qualified widower. Where do I enter my deceased wife's name?

I'm so sorry for your loss. 

 

If your filing status is qualifying widow(er), you do not enter your deceased spouse's name. 

 

You may be eligible to use qualifying widow(er) as your filing status for 2 years following the year your spouse died.

  • For example, if your spouse died in 2018, and you haven't remarried, you may be able to use this filing status for 2019 and 2020. 

For additional information, see How should I file my return if my spouse recently died?
