My spouse and I both live in NYS but have different NYC residency statuses (one of us is a full-year NYC resident, the other is not a NYC resident).

My boyfriend and I decided to get married this year in September. We got our license and paid for everything. My husband sadly passed away in November. I am not sure if I need to file as married filing separately or if I can file as single for this year.
I am divorced I guess also single and I have a 19 year old student living with me that I pay all the bills. Which filing status should/can I use?
