Do I need to file 2016 taxes for my mother who passed away in January 2016?

[wsob1]

My Mother passed away on Jan 7, 2017.  All accounts were settled and I assumed the w-2s for inherited insurance, IRAs, etc..  Since she passed away early in 2016 there are no W-2s for her.

There is a tool on the IRS website that might answer your question the located, located here: Do I Need to File a Tax Return? Information from the estate might constitute taxable income and therefore require a return.
