When do they lock SSNs

I have a huge return for a taxpayer deceased March 2021.  The extension request e-file was accepted.  Would that necessarily mean that his SSN has NOT been locked?  I really don't want spouse to paper file this return, but I also don't want her to have to come back to the office to pick up a paper copy.  Just too much.  I'll probably just print another copy and tell her not to mail it unless I tell her to do so.

I don't think there's a pattern any longer. I think, due to ID theft, SSNs are being locked sooner and forever. Try e-filing, but be prepared to paper file, sounds like a plan.

(I used to see SSNs locked if 2022 year was DOD, but ok to e-file if 2021 was DOD. Don't know how that worked.)

Well, it was rejected.

But, wait!  Because I needed to attach PDF file of Form 1116 Sch B.  Which was of course soooooooo large (two whole pages) everything might melt in cyberspace blah, blah, blah.

Got that done, and it was accepted.  Five minute party!     🥳
