Minimum Income Rule for Married Filing Separately

Hi guys,

 

Can someone please confirm for me that for "Married Filing Separately," anyone earning over $5 in 2024 has to file a tax return? I've seen this on numerous websites, but the woman I spoke to yesterday at H&R Block just shook her head and looked like she didn't know what I was talking about. Also, if true, why is it so low when all the other status categories have a much higher threshold? Thanks.
