There are no special rules for retired people. They follow the same rules as anybody else.
To determine if you are required to file a federal income tax form, see Tables 1, 2, and 3 on pages 2, 3, and 4 of Publication 501:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
State income tax requirements are different than federal. You should consult the instructions that come with your state tax forms or you might be able to find the information on your state tax department's web site.
Even if you are retired, you might have some taxable income. Pension payments, 401k distributions, IRA distributions, interest from the bank, investment income, rent income are all taxable. If your income is above a certain level, Social Security payments are taxable.
Even if you are not REQUIRED to file, if you had tax taken out of your salary, pension, Social Security, or other payments, you should file in order to get a refund.

Can you receive a tax return if you are paying back taxes through bankruptcy?
Probably not. The IRS is getting out of sending paper tax returns to taxpayers. They want you to file electronically now. That is for everyone, though, it has nothing to do with whether you are in bankruptcy or not. NOW.... IF you are asking whether you will receive a tax REFUND while paying back taxes then the answer is a DEFINITE "N-O"! The IRS is not going to give you money while you still owe them money. They will "apply" any refunds/credit due you to whatever taxes you still owe.

Why are illegal immigrants disliked?
They are disliked because they are leeches. They do not pay taxes, because in order to pay taxes, they would need to register, and they would be removed from the states. They are required to get an immigrant visa, and we do not wish to appear weak. If we let them through, more will follow, and soon, the majority of the U.S. won't be paying taxes. So the American citizens are paying taxes, while paying people who don't pay them. In other words, they can't speak English, and they don't pay taxes, but they are getting payed by American citizens.
