If your only income is Social Security, you are correct that you are not required to file a tax return; either for Federal or the State of Illinois.

If your only income is Social Security you are not required to file a federal return. And...IL does not tax retirement income....so you will not need to file an IL return either.

One thing----if you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance you need to file a federal return.
