My husband passed away last year, and I will be filing a joint return.
Are any special return notations required to indicate my husband is deceased?
If you are a surviving spouse filing a joint return and no personal representative
has been appointed, you should sign the return and write in the signature
area, "filing as surviving spouse." The final return should have
the word "Deceased," the decedent's name, and the date
of death written across the top of the return. For additional information,
refer to Tax Topic 356, Decedents.
You can search for information in the entire Tax Prep Help section, or in the entire site. For a more focused search, put your search word(s) in quotes.
