I only had Social Security for income last year and the total was less than the standard deduction. I had no tax tax taken out, so do I still need to file a return?

No if Social Security was your only income in 2022, you are not required to file a tax return.

Sorry. Forgot to ask how this affects filing a state return in Iowa.

Thanks.

No. You do not need to file a federal or state return.
