If you are 65 or older, your gross income needs to be $13,950 or more for you to file. If you are a widow/widower with dependent children you would qualify to file taxes if you are younger than 65 with a gross income of $15,700 or more.
The minimum income for filing federal taxes depends on your marital status, age, whether you have children and whether you can be claimed as a dependent on someone elseâs return. In 2011, for example, if you were single and under age 65, you would have to file taxes if you earned over $9,500, but you could earn up to $10,950 without filing if you were over 65.
