Do I need to file federal return if only income was taxable grant but less than minimum filing requirement?

[JessB]

My only income in 2018 was taxable educational grant money (both PELL and state,) none of which was spent on qualifying educational expenses. However, the total amount was under the $18,000 Head of Household minimum filing requirement. Do I still need to file a return? Thanks in advance!

   You don't need to file a tax return if the taxable grant  is your only income and the amount is below the filing requirements level.
