Can you file for income tax using financial aid as an income?

No you cannot due to the fact of it being tax free because its from taxes and financial aid is not a earned income its a gift. The above is hogwash. There are many types of financial aid. I am unaware of any that are considered a gift, although that in itself would make little difference as gifts are normally taxable. ALL INCOME IS TAXABLE, not just earned income. Depending on the type of financial aid, the one giving it can provide details on how they will report it, and combinned with your other taxation factors 9marital status, dependents, other income, etc), will determine if it is taxable and if you actually pay tax on it.

Do you have to pay income tax on social imcome of 23000 I'm 89 years old?

It depends on your filing status and on whether you had any other income besides your Social Security benefits. Also, in order to determine whether your benefits are taxable, you have to count certain non-taxable income such as interest from tax-free municipal bonds. If you did not have any income whatsoever other than $23000 of benefits, they would not be taxable unless you lived with your spouse and filed separately (in which case they would be taxable). Please fill out Worksheet A on page 2 of Publication 915 to see for sure: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf
