It depends on how much you received from babysitting our grandkid. If you received Social Security benefits plus other income, part of your social security might be taxable if your MAGI modified adjusted gross income(half of your Social Security, plus other sources of income) exceeds the base amount for your filing status ($32,000 for Married Filing Jointly or $25,000 for all others)
So 16k I get in ss and he paid me 3k to baby sit so if that helps further answer my question
Yes, you do need to file a tax return because the $3000 your son pays you to baby sit needs to be reported. The income needs to be reported as self-employed income. Here is how to report.
