You only get Head of Household if you have a dependent. $16,550 is the Standard Deduction for Single over 65. So that's right. Your Social Security is not taxable at all since your other income is less than $25,000. And since the 16,550 Standard Deduction is more than your total income your taxable income is 0 zero. The Standard Deduction is subtracted from your income to give you the taxable income.
Since you owe no tax on your income you get back all the $85 withholding. And since you don't have any earned income from working like a W2 you do not qualify for any credits. Don't know what you are referring to about inflation allowance $400 ?? Could that be a state thing?
