Married living separate: spouse passed in January 2019 so how do I file

You can file as single, or if you qualify you can use Head of Household or Qualifying Widower. See the section of IRS Publication 501 at this link for the details on your options when your spouse....

 

To use the Qualifying Widower status, you will need to file a joint return with your deceased husband.
