Question

How can i select what return to file when my wife died in nov 2022 and i got a 1099 for 2023 with both our names on it?

do I ffile joint or single?

If you have no dependent children, you'll have to file Single in 2023. If you have a qualifying child, you can file as Qualifying Widower.

As the form 1099 has both your names, it can be reported on your tax return.

I'm sorry for your loss.
