    The IRS filing requirement varies based on your filing status. If you are over 65, here is a table that lists the general filing requirement:

    Single

    $15,700 or more

    Head of household

    $22,650 or more

    Married filing jointly

    $29,200 or more (one spouse under 65)
    $30,700 or more (both spouses 65 or older)

    Married filing separately

    $5 or more

    Qualifying surviving spouse

    $29,200 or more

    This would be applicable if you are not claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. If you are claimed as a dependent, filing requirements vary.

    You may want to file a return even if you made less to get a refund of taxes your employer withheld from your pay if you are currently employed.

    If you are unsure based on your personal situation, please use the IRS Do I Need to File a Tax Return? tool to assist you. This tool will guide you through entering information about your personal situation and determine if you are required to file a tax return.
