What changes occur in doing taxes for the surviving spouse? My father passed away in October and I have been doing the taxes for my parents. Now, with him gone we won't use his tax ID I suspect and would use my mom's.
Can anyone clarify what I can expect when doing taxes for my mom who is the surviving spouse?
Thanks

I used a CPA for my parents even though everything was held in Joint names. It was too complex for me to figure out :P
