Spouse passed away in 2019

Passed away in February 2019. Do I file Married Filing Jointly for 2018 and then say that he passed away on next year's taxes? Or enter death date on this year's taxes because he died before filing it and file single next year?

I'm sorry for your loss.

Yes, you will file jointly in 2018. You can also file jointly in 2019. You can include the date of death in this year's return.
