My only income is social security. Do I have to file my 1098 mortgage interest statement or can I just file a basic return?

If your only income is Social Security you are not required to file a tax return, but you can if you want to.   You will not need to enter mortgage interest if you are not itemizing deductions.   You can skip that.

 

 

Who has to file?
