Yes, you still need to file a Return even if your not getting a Refund or owe any Taxes
The IRS has restrictive guidelines for determining who needs to file, which means even if you don't owe, you may still have to submit a tax return.
It's very common to feel like you shouldn't need to file a return if you don't owe any tax. However, owing tax and having a filing requirement are two separate situations in the IRS' eyes. The IRS has restrictive guidelines for determining who needs to file, which means even if you don't owe, you may still have to submit a return. These restrictions are based on the amount and type of income you receive, the standard deduction amount for your filing status, and if not claimed as a dependent – the exemption amount for the year.
Does it matter if I am 70 years old and on Social Security and my husband is on Disability Social Security
If your only income is Social Security and Disability Social Security, you are not required to file a tax return.
Your Social Security and Disability Social Security are not taxable income.
I am retired and married filing separately as I have not lived with my spouse in 2022. My only income is Social Security monthly payments. Do I need to file tax returns

If the Social Security benefits are your only income you do not need to file a 2022 tax return, assuming that your spouse will not be filing as Married Filing Jointly.
If the Social Security benefits is your ( and your spouse’s if married) only income then there is no need for you to file a tax return UNLESS one or more of these apply :
