Im 72 spouse is 70 do we still file taxes

There is no maximum age where you can stop filing federal income tax returns. 

 

The requirement to file is based upon income, and types of income, not chronological age.

My great aunt still had enough taxable income to file a return until she passed at 105.5 ... I think that if you reach 100 you should be done ... and maybe an increase in the standard deduction at the age of 75, 80, 85, 90 & 95 to go with the one you get at 65.   Just my humble opinion 😉
