How do I file taxes when a spouse dies?

When a spouse dies, you may need to file taxes for them for the year of their death. You would file a final joint tax return for the year of their death, and then file as a single taxpayer in the following years. It's important to report any income earned by the deceased spouse and any deductions or credits they may be eligible for. You may also need to obtain a Tax ID number for the deceased spouse. It's recommended to seek the guidance of a tax professional or accountant to ensure you are filing correctly.
