I became widowed in Oct. of 2022, do I claim as widowed or married on my return?

We'd like to offer our sincere condolences for your loss.

You will need to enter your marital status as it was on December 31, 2022. Therefore, your marital status would be widowed.

If you need help filing their final return, please refer to this article: How do I file a final return for someone who has passed away?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Sorry for your loss, I also lost my husband in October. I still can’t figure out how to file for him on here, I’m finding it very confusing.
