@mmsj55 - for federal, it's income (excluding social security) less than the standard deduction.

your state rules may be different 

[rjs · Accepted solution]

If Social Security benefits are your only income for the year you are not required to file a tax return, unless you received advance premium tax credit for health insurance from the Marketplace ("Obamacare"), or you took money out of a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Medical Savings Account (MSA).

You can use the calculator at the following link on the IRS web site to see if you have to file a tax return.
