The answer changes with many factors...age, disability, married or not, etc, and what may be defined as income, may not be what you expect, so looking at this link will help (for anyone): http://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar02.html#en_US_publink100041738 And now you fell into the trap of getting my words of wisdom! There are many reasons to file, even if you don't owe. The gov't provides many benefits to people based on the income (or lack) only if they file (last years incentive check is one of many examples). But, appreciate this - if the IRS (not known for being too concerned about anything or one than themselves) says you don't have to file...who do you think that normally benefits - you or them?
