sep plan contribution for spouse after death

self employed husband died during year without completing application to open sep account. I was told that spouse can open sep account based on his income in the year of his death .as long as they are filing a joint return and reporting income on the schedule c. has anyone heard of this and how do you show it on return.



Didn’t the spouse inherit the business upon his death? If so, she becomes the employer and should be able to establish a SEP IRA in her name.
