Perhaps. It depends on whether you have enough non-Social Security income to be required to file an income tax return. Also, for 2007 and, possibly, 2008, you may qualify for an economic stimulus rebate, but only if you file a return. You can find a form on the internet or at the library. Just because IRS didn't send you a form, doesn't mean you are exempt from filing.

Yes. There may be a way to get it by filing next year, but I wouldn't count on it. Efile your return this year to get the stimulus money by May.

If someone tells you that you no longer have to file taxes after a certain age, they do not know what they are talking about. You can be 106 and still have to file income tax returns.

Social security disability and social security benefits are the same thing and would be subject to income on your correctly completed 1040 income tax return When you have other sources of world wide income. Generally, if Social Security benefits were your only income, your SSB benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return. If you have any other sources of worldwide income and (tax exempt interest and exempt dividends) then it is possible for some of your SSB to become taxable income on your income tax return and then you would be required to file an income tax return.
