Question

My husband passed away in 2021. Last year's tax return I had him as there was some income from him. How do I file this year ?

So sorry for your loss.  It sounds like you filed a joint 2021 return, which was permissible.  For 2022, you file as Single--unless you still have a qualified child to claim as a dependent.   If so, you can file as a Qualified Surviving Spouse.   If you will file Single, you should start a new account with a new user ID so that you are not using the same account that was used for previous joint returns.  Using the old "joint" account will lead to filing errors.
