My 15 year old son died in 2023.This is the first year without him, and I am at the part where it asks if he lived with me this year... There's not a "deceased" box. 😢😭

Sorry for your loss.  If he died in 2023 you need to completely delete him from your 2024 return.    Go to My Info and there should be an Edit button or pencil or trash can to delete him.

Sorry, I misread the year of death.

Also on your 2023 return did you mark him as Deceased?  Don't know how important that is.

It's not important.
