I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. There is no special requirement to have to file in the year someone is deceased, if her income was not over the filing threshold for the year then no return needs to be filed. I hope that helps!</P> Wed, 30 Oct 2024 16:55:46 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-deceased-mother-s-taxes-only-social-security/01/3399186#M1253400 Juliane22 2024-10-30T16:55:46Z
