I think my mom doesn't need to file taxes?

I'm POA for my mom and she has dementia so cannot file for herself.  She has:

Social Security net benefits: $10,700

Pension (1099-R, code "7"): $5,200

LT Cap gain: $2,200

LT Cap loss carryover: $22,000

She lives in Oregon

 

I know if I go through the paperwork she owes nothing but that's because of the standard deduction and cap-loss carryover.  But her total income above adds to $18,100

 

Does she need to file?

Thank you!
