Do I have to file a return?

[Denise916]

Do I have to file a Federal and State return?  I received $20,339 from Social Security retirement income. My other income was $8,340.  I am filing single.

Maybe, how old are you ?  The other income... was it wages ?  Did you have any withholding ?

[Denise916]

83 Years Old. Income Is From Interest.  No Wage And No Withholdings.  Also Live In California.  Thank You.

I Forgot To Say Half Of The Other Income Was From Annuity Payments, No Withholdings.  Does That Change Anything?

[Critter]

No it doesn't.

You do not need to file ... you are below the filing requirement for both the feds & CA.
