Single or Married Filing Separately,, over 65  - $13,900

Married Filing Jointly, under 65  - .$25,100

Married Filing Jointly, over 65  - .$26,800

 

You may want to file a return, even if you are not required to file. If box 2 of your W2 has a number greater than 0, it is possible you will get a refund.
