Do I have ti file if SS is my only income? Plus 900.00 part time total

Just ss plus 900.00 part time employment

It depends if your gross income falls under the filing threshold. Please see Do I need to file a federal return this year? for the filing thresholds.

Your Social Security Income won't be taxable if half of your Social Security Income plus the $900 is less than $25,000. If that is the case then you will be under the filing threshold and won't need to file. If half of your Social Security Income plus the $900 is more than $25,000 then some of your Social Security will be taxable.

If the $900 was anything other than W2 income then you DO have to file because you will owe some self employment tax (the equivalent of Social Security and Medicare) on it.
