I have been filing as "Married filing Jointly" but my wife never really worked. Has this been the right thing I've done? Or should it have been Single 65 y/o?

You cannot file as "single" since you're married. You could file as Married filing separately but doing so would give you higher taxes and a lower refund. Your are doing the right thing.

Im HOH filling status but when I start state filling from California ask about my son he has income of 7,000
