Spouse's death

I lost my husband in Feb 2021. Can I file my taxes as Married Filing Joint? Is funeral cost deductible?

posted

For tax year 2021 you can file as Married Filing Jointly since your spouse passed away in 2021. When entering their personal information you will have to check the box that the spouse passed away and then the date of passing.

Sorry, funeral expenses are not reported on nor deductible on a tax return.

Should we file separately? If i were single my income would allow me to get the $4000 Used Clean Vehicle Tax Credit but with my spouses higher income we do not qualify.
