    Hello djastremsky! That is a great question. There are several items to consider when determining if you should file a tax return, including filing status and unearned income (social security benefits). You can find details for this at the following IRS link:

    https://www.irs.gov/individuals/check-if-you-need-to-file-a-tax-return

    The IRS also offers this tool you may use to walk through to determine if you need to file:

    Often taxpayers will file a return even if they are not required to do so to protect their social security number from being used on a fraudulent return. Federal tax returns are always filed free of charge at FreeTaxUSA. You are welcome to create an account at no charge to enter your information to help you decide if you'd like to file.
