Retirement tax questions

North Carolina does not tax social security, so it is not necessary to prepare a state return.  Generally, if social security is her only income and there was no voluntary withholding a federal return is also not required.  

However, I know there are many folks who feel it is their duty to file anyway, and it's certainly okay to do so.
