After you file

I have recently returned to the workforce, i.e. i am doing books for 1 client (self employed), and I'm going to be working part time for a merchandising company.  I was convinced by my husband to retire in 2016 as I had heart surgery and he wanted to retire.  I am collecting social security and now I will have self employment tax and I will have a regular paycheck from my merchandising.  My question is since I was on social security until now, I have not had to file a yearly return.  Now that I am employed I will need to start filing, do I need to file all those past years?  If not what do I put in the forms when I start filing again?  Social security said I am allowed to make an unlimited amount now that I am 69.  Anything else I should be thinking about?
