Answer #1

Per IRS, Cindy would be eligible to qualify under the "Qualifying Widower" status during 2020. The individual would be eligble to qualify under the "Qualifying widower" status for the 2 years post the death of his/her spouse and did not remarry. Since Cindy did not remarry and is in the 2nd year post the death of her husband and also has a dependent child whom she takes care of, the filing status for Cindy is "Qualifying widower".

The maximum available Standard deduction for the year 2020 for the Qualifying Widower status is $24,400 for the year 2020.

Please let me know if you have any questions via comments and all the best :) !
