If you are unmarried and at least 65 years of age, then you must file an income tax return if your gross income is $11,500 or more. However, if you live on Social Security benefits, you don't include this in gross income. If this is the only income you receive, then your gross income equals zero, and you don't have to file a federal income tax return. But if you do earn other income that is not tax-exempt, then each year you must determine whether the total exceeds $11,500. If you are married and file a joint return with a spouse who is also 65 or older, you must file a return if your combined gross income is $22,400 or more. If your spouse is under 65 years old, then the threshold amount decreases to $21,200. Keep in mind that these income thresholds only apply to the 2013 tax year, and generally increase slightly each year.

Of course....age is not a consideration in filing. Income is. Moreover, even (or especially) if the IRS says you don't have to file, who do you think that benefits, you or them? Your last tax return will be filed, by your estate, after your death.


DO I have to file federal income tax after age 70?

My mom is 88 years old and is still paying outrages federal income taxes. I have always heard, that at age 70, you could earn as much as you want, without being taxed. She has a little farm, which pays her about 20,000 a year, and she has a very small pension, and a very small social security, since she is what they called a notch baby. Could you give me some information on how she should be taxed?

All taxes that were withheld (if any) were refunded.2) She reasonably expects to owe no taxes this year.
