Can I file married filing jointly if my spouse is deceased?

You can still use married filing jointly with your deceased spouse for the year of death — unless you remarry during that year. If you remarry in the year of your spouse’s death, you can’t file jointly with your deceased spouse. However, you can use married filing jointly with your new spouse.
