I have retired and draw SS do I need to file a return?

[HelenC12]

Generally speaking, if your only income is Social Security, you probably don't make enough money to be required to file a federal tax return.

However, you may want to file a 2020 tax return if you are eligible for the Stimulus payments and to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC). Create a TurboTax account and complete the tax return.
