My husband died in 2023 and I reported it on my taxes with freetaxusa last year. When I go to file this year, his info still autopopulates and it will not let me remove him or mark him as deceased since he passed in 2023. What do I do?

    Hi vbmom, welcome to the FreeTaxUSA Community!

     

    If your husband was listed first in the software, you will need to overwrite his information with yours.  You will also need to change the filing status from Married Filing Joint to Single.  From the menu at the top of the page (or hamburger in the top left corner, depending on your web browser): Personal -> Filing Status

     

    For information related to your specific tax return, please log into your account and contact support with your account specific question.  When you log in to your account, please click on the Support link in the top right corner of the page, where you will see the support options listed.
