I was widowed in 2022 and received only non taxable social security for 2023. Do I need to file a tax return?

So sorry for your loss.   For tax year 2022 you were able to file a joint tax return.   For 2023, if your ONLY income has been Social Security you are not required to file a tax return unless you had tax withheld from the SS and want to get a refund, or if you had health insurance from healthcare.gov and have a 1095A.

 

Who has to file?
