If the death occured in 2007, the IRS will not be able to access that information and the e-file will be rejected. Since this is contradicting the prior answer you may want to call the IRS e-file help desk for verification of this info. Mike Quote

They cannot e-file if spouse died after tax year end, but the surviving spouse will be able to e-file next year without a problem. Quote
