My father passed back in March. For their 60+ year marriage, dad did the annual taxes and mom has no idea and is not equipped to learn. I will probably step in and do them for her. Their finances are fairly simple so it should not be a big deal. They have low taxable income and usually just file for the standard deduction. My one question is how do you claim married filing jointly and reflect the death of the spouse at a certain point in the year? Is there a box or formula that is used to calculate a partial year?
