Husband died. Would I get more back filing widow or jointly? No children to claim

If your husband passed in 2018, you can still file jointly. The is the best filing because it doubles your standard deduction to $24,000. I am very sorry for the loss of your husband. 

If you have a child, you may be eligible for qualifying widower filing for the 2 years following this filing. See below
