DO I NEED TO FILE IF I AM OVER 70 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY

If your ONLY income for 2022 was Social Security, you do not have to file an income tax return.

 

You must file a federal return if half your SS or RRTA benefits plus your other income exceeds 

Single, HOH, or qualifying widower  $25,000

Married filing Jointly  $32,000

Married filing Separately $0

While you don’t have to file some like to file in case a future stimulus depends on a prior filing.
