Are you really asking about SSI---Supplemental Security Income or do you mean Social Security?
They are not the same thing
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND SSI?
https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-over-ussi.htm
If you receive SSI you do not enter it on a tax return at all. If you are receiving Social Security benefits then if the SS is your ONLY income you do not have to file a tax return. If you received a 1095A for marketplace insurance (Obamacare) then you do need to file a return. Or if you have other income you might need to file a return.
You need to file a federal return if half your Social Security plus your other income is $25,000 when filing single or head of household, or $32,000 when filing married filing jointly, $0 if you are filing married filing separately.
