I don't have any W-2. The only taxable income I have is a 1099-r (1602.95 with $240.44 paid in tax) and 1099-int (132.55) totaling less then $2000.00. I do have mortgage interest (5694.81) and medical expenses (4102.45) for 2016 totaling about $9000

You probably don't need to file a return but you may want to. It is likely you would get a refund of the tax withheld on the 1099-R payment.

This IRS tool will help you answer the question Do I Need to File a Tax Return?

More information is available in the IRS article Do I have to File a Tax Return? , including situations where you may still want to file.

Thank you! I used the Tax assistant on the IRS website. It said exactly what you told me. I will file because it's still $240.00 to reclaim. Thanks again for your time.
