Retirement tax questions

I prepare my parents taxes and although they have mortgage interest, property taxes, donations and medical expenses, they didn't have any taxes deducted and TurboTax is showing they can't file a 1040.  Do they even need to file at all?


If the Social Security benefits are the Only income to be reported on the tax return, then there is no reason or need to file a tax return.
