Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The Social Security benefits received plus the small amount of the other income will not be enough for you to be required to file a tax return.  None of your income is taxable so there is no need to file a tax return.  Unless you have had taxes withheld from the RMD then you should file for a tax refund.
