No. Legal resident aliens are taxed just as US citizens. Therefore, if you do not meet the income requirements to file, you do not need to complete a US tax return.

For 2017, the income threshold for a married couple is $20,800-$23,300, depending on your ages.

If I move my permanent residence from CA to TX by 5/31/2024, will I be able to get a refund of the California state tax I have paid to date when I do my 2024 tax return?
