Another Question:

 

Mother in Law sold her house in 2019 at 100 years old.  No income other than SS benefits-less than taxable amount.  Capital gains less than 250K.  In the closing, there's a piece of paper saying it is an alternative form 1099S.  (Date/Proceeds/Address). We did not receive an IRS form that looks like what is shown on the IRS website.

 

We did not file a 2019 return for her.  Can we (more importantly, should we) do that retroactively?
