You likely will not need to file unless you have a Form 1095-A for marketplace health insurance to report.
In general, if your income is less than the Standard Deduction, and you don't have other income to report, you won't need to file a tax return.
Your social security benefits may be taxable if the total of (1) one-half of your benefits, plus (2) all of your other income (your dividends), including tax-exempt interest, is greater than the base amount for your filing status.
The base amount for your filing status is:
- $25,000 if you're single, head of household, or qualifying surviving spouse,
- $25,000 if you're married filing separately and lived apart from your spouse for the entire year,
- $32,000 if you're married filing jointly,
- $0 if you're married filing separately and lived with your spouse at any time during the tax year.
