Your software is asking for income from social security of my deceased wife of two tax years. there is none, but income on SS worksheet form is flagged as not complete. Why?

If you are no longer filing a joint tax return then you should start a new account with a new user ID. It is too hard to remove all the information from a joint return when you are filing as Single.

I completed individual info section that resulted in filing as single. You mean I do not use transfer info process to file a new return??

Sorry for your loss. No. After two years you should be starting in a new account. As you are seeing, there is still information about your spouse in the old account and it is difficult to remove it all. We recommend using a new account now that you need to file as Single.
