irs rules how much can you earn and have no tax
It is income, not age, that determines when you can stop paying federal income taxes. Basically, you have to file a tax return as of publication if you and your spouse, both over 65, had combined income of more than $21,300 or half your Social Security benefits and other income was more than $32,000 combined. If you're single, you have to file if your gross income was more than $10,950.
