    If your total income is under the filing requirement, you don't have to file a tax return.  The federal filing requirement depends on your filing status, your age, and your income.  

     

    Refer to the TurboTax Help article Do I need to file a federal return this year?

     

     Review the IRS Publication 501 Who needs to file a tax return to determine if you need to file a federal tax return.
