If your spouse died and you have not remarried:

File as you would a normal tax return if your spouse's date of death was in the most recent tax year.

If you have not remarried and your spouse passed away before the most recent tax year:

File a single return and refer to the MI-1040 instruction booklet for any specific instructions regarding the 4884 or MI-1040CR.
