How do I prepare a single member Schedule C on a married filing jointly return

Husband and wife owned a partnership and filed a partnership return return.  Husband is the majority owner.

Wife passed away.  So the partnership needs to file a Schedule C on his 1040.  Is there something else that should be done other than adding the current year operations on the 1040?  Should I do anything to notify the IRS that no 1065 will be filed this hear?

    A final 1065 should be filed in the year of death of the spouse. You might also need to do something with the state if it is registered with the state. 

    Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

    Unless she died on 12/31, there should be or should have been a partial year 1065 filed.
