Age has nothing to do with whether or not you are required to file income tax returns. The deciding factor is your income and income sources as to whether or not you are required to file. I have had client who were told by friends or even personnel offices that they didn't have to file after a certain age or if they were retired. This is not true at all and can get you into serious trouble. It can also cost you far more than tax only with the addition of penalties and interest.

It is all addressed as a matter of "how much TAXABLE income."(Note: working isn't relevant either, as many people who don't work or are retired, or disabled, or old, or young, or in school, have income from many sources: savings, investments, etc. TAXABLE income is different than what you may otherwise think of as income. In most circumstances, you have to do many of the calculations needed to file a return, just to determine what taxable income may be).Likewise, there are no special or fixed rates for retired, student, doctor, sanitation worker, President, convict...whatever.
