It depends on certain conditions. If you have a job, or if you have another earner in the family. Up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed.

If, however, SSDI is your only income, then you don't have to file.

Optionally, you send in a 1040EZ. On line 1 write $0 for wages, salaries, and tips. Add $0 on all lines to claim moneys. After the second year, the IRS normally sends a letter to the effect that you don't have to file until your income changes.
