Qualifying widow/widower is a special filing status created to benefit parents whose spouse died. If a person has dependent children (school age children still living at home) and their spouse dies, they can use this special filing status for two years after the year the spouse died. It gives them the benefit of a joint filing status for those years as long as they have dependent children (this doesn't include adult children who aren't attending school).

Does a qualifying child and a qualifying relative get the same benefits on income tax?

How many years can you file jointly with deceased husband?
The year in which your husband died is the last year you can file jointly, but only if you do not remarry in that year. For the next two years, you may be eligible to file as a Qualifying Widow with Dependent Child, which is a different status.
If your spouse dies do you file taxes any differently?
It depends on the situation. If you have a qualifying dependent that you support you may qualify to file as a widow(er) for the next two years. This filing status gives you the same exemptions as married filing joint. Check with your tax preparer or accountant for details.
Can you claim someone that is 35 on your taxes?
Age is a factor in the qualifying child test, but not the qualifying relative test. As long as the following dependency exemption tests are met, you may claim him or her: # Qualifying child or qualifying relative test; # Dependent taxpayer test; # Citizenship or resident test; and # Joint return test. To be your dependent, a person must be either your qualifying child or your qualifying relative. Generally, a person is your qualifying relative if that person: * Lives with or is related to you, * Does not have $3,300 or more of gross (total) income, * Is supported (generally more than 50%) by you, and * Is neither your qualifying child nor the qualifying child of anyone else. Generally, you may claim a dependency exemption for a qualifying child or a qualifying relative. Refer to Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information, for the definitions of a qualifying child and a qualifying relative. You may not claim a dependency exemption for an individual, however, if you are a dependent of another taxpayer. To claim a dependency exemption for a qualifying child or a qualifying relative, the citizen, national, or resident test and joint return test must be met. To meet the citizen, national or resident test, an individual must be a citizen or national of the United States, a resident of the United States, or a resident of Canada or Mexico. To find out who is a resident of the United States, refer to Topic 851 or Publication 519. An exception may apply for an adopted child who is not a citizen, national or resident of the United States. See Publication 501.
