    Hi,

    Sorry for your loss. You could file his return as Single without your grandson or as Head of House with your grandson as his dependent. The 6 month rule does not really apply in situations like this. If there is a refund, make sure you fill out the "Deceased Taxpayer Information - Form 1310" on the Misc menu.
