The year in which your husband died is the last year you can file jointly, but only if you do not remarry in that year.

For the next two years, you may be eligible to file as a Qualifying Widow with Dependent Child, which is a different status.

It depends on how the wife is categorized and what assets are in her name, solely or jointly. Let's say there is a house in both of the names then yes, the wife has to file in a joint return with the husband. If the wife is a student then she will have to file and the husband may be able to claim her as a dependent.
