Retirement tax questions

Is this true?? we received a SS check after our mother's passing made out to my wife with her TIN and the O/A/O designation. Several other chats indicate that my wife must pay federal taxes on this disbursement. The issue is that our tax (my wife) return has been completed for 2020 and we would have file an amended return where as our deceased mother return has not been filed. Any options to report this income to our mother's estate?
