Name Removed is deceased. How do I file as his widow?

[tcroyle]

I received removed social security claim that he had started before his death. I also received his VA back benefits. How do I list these or do I list them?

I'm sorry for your loss. 

VA benefits are never taxable, so you can leave that off your Form 1040. 

For Social Security, go to Social Security under Retirement Plans and Social Security.   

If you've correctly entered that you're widowed in Personal Information, then it will calculate your taxable Social Security.
