Tax question - Does she file? - Ombligo - 02-23-2019
My mother had no taxable income, but she did sell her condo (tax exempt), so her return shows no income and no taxes owed.
Is there any reason to even file a return? She hasn't in years but I wasn't sure if the house sale changed anything. She's 99, so I don't think she has much to fear in any case.

It may protect against future audits and it provides a record for other purposes such as settling the estate.

Before my dad died, I filed his zero tax returns on paper (EZ) just for bookkeeping sake, to guard against future audits.
