Are you trying to file a return that has no income?

Report $1.00 of interest as income to allow filing.

If your mother had no income, she has no reason to file a federal tax return.   If she just really wants to file, then enter a fake $1 of interest as income and the system will allow you to e-file, for whatever reason you are trying to file.   The IRS allows this "trick".
