    Explanation:

    Norton's spouse died in 2019. Norton has one child, age 7, living at home. Norton provides all the support for the child. The child lives with Norton during 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Norton's most advantageous filing status is: Married filing jointly in 2019, surviving spouse in 2020 and 2021, head of household in 2022.

    If you had a spouse that died during the tax year, you can still use Married Filing Jointly as your filing status for that year (that is as long as you otherwise qualify). Two years after that, you are still eligible for the qualifying widower with dependent child filing status.
