Very sorry for your loss. I am confused by your post. You say "last year's" return was not filed----do you mean you did not file a 2024 tax return? Did your spouse pass in 2024? If he passed in 2024, you can file a joint return for 2024----but that return must be prepared using desktop download software and has to be filed by mail. You cannot get an extension for 2024 now.
If you mean you want an extension for 2025, you can request it online:
