If your spouse dies during the year, you can fill for that year only, the same joint return you usually do fill.
Next year onwards for the next 2 years, you can fill the form as a qualifying widow(er).
From the 4th year onwards - You can either file as a single or head or household, whatever is more appropriate.
Hope tht helps.!

I received a 1099-c in my deceased spouses name do you still have to claim this?
If when your spouse passed away, a Trust or an Estate was setup to manage their remaining assets, then you are required to file a tax return for the trust or estate and the 1099-c would need to be included on that tax return. If no Trust or Estate was established, then you do not need to file an Estate tax return. Your spouse's final return would be processed either jointly with yours or individually depending on how you have historically filed and your individual tax situation. The 1099-C would NOT be included in that return.
Would you file income taxes on your deceased spouse?
If they had taxable income this year, they will need to have their taxes filed. You being the spouse are probably the best to do it. I am in a similar situation, my grandmother and father passed away this year. I was the caretaker for both of them. I will be filing taxes for both of them. I am able to do it for both because I am the administrator of both estates. If your spouse passed away in 2010, the best thing to do is file as you guys normally did.

Can h and r block give you a copy of your previous tax return?
If your return was done in an H&R Block office, they will have a copy stored on the server and can print it up for you for at least the last 3 years. If you did the return online, you can access your online account and print it out again. You should have been given a copy of your tax return at time of preparation. Unfortunately, many people lose it or even throw it away assuming they can go get another copy any time. The original documents are with that copy and are irreplaceable. H&R Block does not store copies of the W-2 and other documents for clients.

A spouse is never a "dependent" on a US income tax return. You likely mean that you filed a joint tax return with your husband. You still file a joint return for the year of his passing. In subsequent years, you file as single unless you have dependents that qualify you for an alternative filing status.

Which type of annuity pays an amount per year to you and your spouse until the last one dies?
A joint annuity with a survivors benefit. However you purchase the joint annuity first. The payout procedure doesn't actually take affect until you would decide to annuitize the annuity. This is beneficial because if the first spouse passes away before the annuity is annuitized (set up for lifetime payments) the living spouse has the ability to receive it as a single payout annuity giving them a larger payment each month.

Are you liable for your late husband's debts?
Perhaps. The extent of liability of a surviving spouse depends upon the laws of the state in which the married couple lived at the time of the person's death and the type of debt(s). Joint accounts/debts are always the responsibility of the surviving spouse. Married couples who reside in community property states are generally equally liable for all debts incurred during the marriage regardless of which spouse is the actual account holder and when a spouse passes away. Two "CP" states have exceptions to the rule, those states are Texas and Wisconsin.
