Is it true that if a person is over the age of 65 they can not file taxes?

There is no age limit to filing tax returns---who told you that? If you have taxable income you might have to file even if you are 100.

Who has to file?

It's what I heard. I didn't know if it was true or not.

xmasbaby0 is correct.

There are filing requirements no matter your age. Depending on your income and other filing requirements, you may not have to file a tax return. Please read the following TurboTax article: Does Everyone Need to File an Income Tax Return?

So what you're saying is that even though a person that over the age of 65 and has no other proof of income aside from social security can and may file taxes?
