People who are over 65 or blind are allowed to take an additional personal exemption on their federal income tax return. This does amount to a "break" of sorts. (If you're blind AND over 65, you don't get to take TWO additional personal exemptions, though.)
how much is federal exemption over 65
Senior citizens, infants, children, and middle-aged people all need to file income tax if they meet certain requirements. There are no age limits. To determine if you are required to file a federal income tax form, see Tables 1, 2, and 3 on pages 2, 3, and 4 of Publication 501: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf State income tax requirements are different than federal. You should consult the instructions that come with your state tax forms or you might be able to find the information on your state tax department's web site. Even if you are retired, you might have some taxable income. Pension payments, 401k distributions, IRA distributions, interest from the bank, investment income, rent income are all taxable. If your income is above a certain level, Social Security payments are taxable. Even if you are not REQUIRED to file, if you had tax taken out of your salary, pension, Social Security, or other payments, you should file in order to get a refund.
A 70-year-old individual may still be required to pay various taxes depending on their income, assets, and activities. They may have to pay income tax on any taxable income they earn, including retirement income, pensions, or rental income. Additionally, they may be subject to property tax if they own real estate, and they may have to pay sales tax on purchases they make. It is essential for older individuals to consult with a tax professional or contact their local tax authority for specific guidance.
Yes. You must file an income tax return if you are 83 or 183.
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.
