What if spouse died during the year

can i talk to someone?  my husband died last year and I don't know how to start my filing

[cameaf · Accepted solution]

If your spouse died in 2017, you should also file jointly with your late spouse unless you remarried in 2017. In that case, you'd file a joint return with your new spouse and file your deceased spouse's return as Married Filing Separately.

See link below that explains more about how to file when your spouse dies during the year:
