Do senior citizens collecting Social Security have to file income taxes?

Assuming you are single no half your SS and the dividends make none of your SS taxable and you would only report the $1500 as income and this is below your non taxable income of course, this doesn't mean IRS will not send you a CP2000 and asking why you didn't report the $1500 dividends.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
