Sorry for the loss of your Husband, I'm sure this is a very difficult time for you.

In the "My Info" section in TurboTax, in addition to selecting "yes" that he passed away, you should have entered his date of death.  Other than that, there isn't anything else to fill out regarding his death.  You can revisit your Husband's information by clicking "My Info" from the left side of your screen and clicking "Edit" next to his name.

You should file Married Filing Joint for 2018 and include all of your Husband's income & deductions along with your own.
