I'm retired and have no taxable income.. I did receive 1099-R IRA distribution. Do I need to file a return?

Level 15

Since you only mentioned the type of income you received and not the amount, take a look at the TurboTax article below to see the income filing requirements based on age and filing status. If there were any Federal or state taxes withheld from your IRA distribution, then you do need to file a return to claim any refund of those withholdings.

Do I need to file a Federal return this year?
