I am retired and only made $11,000 in Social Security, with $1,300 of that going to medicare. I live with my son and do not own a home or pay rent (I sold my home 2 years ago.) After filling out all the information in Turbo Tax, it says I had the uncommon situation of not owing any taxes or receiving any tax refund both federal and state. I was worried that Turbo Tax said it is "uncommon for that to situation to happen." I just assumed it was because I received s little from Social Security (only $890/month.) Does it sound normal for a retiree getting $890/month in social security with no other form of income to owe nothing in taxes and get nothing refunded?

If all you have is Social Security Income, you do not have a filing requirement and no return needs to be filed... you have no taxes to pay and no refund to be received.
What the program is telling you is that since there is no income to report on the return, you have an uncommon situation and the return cannot be filed Electronically.
