I am so sorry for you loss. The statute of limitations is generally 3 years for an audit. If all she had was social security income, there is probably no need to even keep them as they can be recreated as the records are all online with the IRS tax transcripts if she had no other income.
Will you have to file a final tax return for income in respect of a decadent? Do you need to file a estate tax return for her estate?
Hope this was helpful.
