When a spouse passes away, the surviving spouse can file taxes jointly for the year of the spouse's death. In subsequent years, the surviving spouse can file as a qualifying widow or widower if eligible, or as single. It's important to report the deceased spouse's income up to the date of death and to obtain a Tax ID number for the estate if necessary.

Spend a Weekend Doing Taxes?
If you are a student filing taxes for the first time, be sure to give yourself at least a weekend to complete the process. The process of filing taxes can be burdensome and time-consuming. Rushing to complete the process will usually mean that you miss a tax deduction or forget to add an important piece of information to your tax file. Giving yourself a weekend will also allow you to have the maximum amount of time you need to become familiar with the process of filing taxes. This will making the filing of your taxes in the next year much easier.

What if your spouse refuses to pay taxes on earned income?
I suggest not filing a joint return. Using the Married Filing Separately filing status will not allow you to claim some tax benefits and you won't have the benefits of combining your income, but it will save you if your spouse is audited. If you file jointly, you will be fully responsible for the taxes on the omitted income. Filing a joint return creates something called "joint & several liability" which means you are both responsible for the entire tax liability, even if it's later adjusted because one spouse omitted income or committed tax evasion. Read IRS Publication 971 to find out the difficulty of not being held responsible for your spouse's actions. That's why I recommend not filing a joint return with your spouse. The benefits will not be worth the cost if they are caught evading taxes.
Can I file my taxes as married separately?
Yes, you can choose to file your taxes as "married filing separately" if you are legally married. This means you and your spouse will each file separate tax returns, which can have different implications for your tax situation compared to filing jointly.
