I am very sorry for your loss. TurboTax will be fine for you to use. When you get to the Personal Information section, the program will ask you if there have been any changes in your life, such as the death of a spouse (among other options). If you check that box, TurboTax will walk you through everything. You do not need a tax specialist to get your tax return done.
