Hi,
Whether or not you are over 65 you have to file a tax return if your income exceeds the total of your standard deduction and your personal exemption. Assuming you are single and over 65 for 2007 your standard deduction is $6,650 and your personal exemption is $3,400 or a total of $10,500. If your income other than social security exceeds that amount, you are required to file a tax return.
Up to 85% of social security benefits can be taxable depending upon the amount of your other income. If you are single and the total of half of your social security plus all your other income exceeds $25,000, some of your social security is taxable.
Let me know if you have any questions.
