If Social Security is her only income she is not required to file a federal tax return. Every state has different rules, and you didn't say what state she lives in, but I don't think there is any state that would require her to file.

According to the Missouri Department of Revenue web site, if you are not required to file a federal tax return you do not have to file a Missouri tax return.
