Will We Need To File Income Taxes After My Husband Retires?

Hi. When my husband retires our income will be his social security, and my child in care benefit. Approx $2800 a month total. Will we still need to file income taxes if this is are only income. Thank you so much

Hi. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, so I'm not able to answer questions about IRS regulations. The following Social Security website provides some information regarding taxation of Social Security benefits: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/retirement/planner/taxes.html.

Best, Jerry
