If you only get SS or SSDI or ssi  it is not taxable and you do not have to file a return. And there is no benefit in claiming dependents or deductions. And you can't efile a return with no taxable income. If you want to file you will have to print and mail it.

You likely do not have to file a return when all you have is social security.  If you did not receive the third economic impact payment, you may need to file a return to receive it.  It would have been $1,400 received early in the year.

 

 You may want to file if you have not yet received the third stimulus payment of $1,400.00.  More information can be found in the link below.

Filing requirements for a single taxpayer, over 65 is $14,250.00.

 

When you are logged into your TurboTax account use the following steps to enter your third stimulus payment or enter zero if you didn't receive it yet.

  1. Select 'Federal Review' at the top right
  2. Answer the questions to be sure you have all you are entitled to
