Social Security benefits are never part of gross income considered regarding
whether a return must be filed. There's no need to do the line 20
worksheet. See the 1040 instructions.

No filing requirement for the scenario indicated above. However, he should
file a "Stimulus-Only" tax return to be eligible for his $300 stimulus
check. He also should file for a refund if any income tax was withheld.

Default Is Social Security factored in?

The requirement for a person over 65 and single to file a tax return
is $10,050. If he has $10,000 in gross income plus another $3,600 in
Social Security income (benefits) does he have to file a tax return?
Please confirm - the $3,600 Social Security income is not taxable when
calculated using the worksheet with $25,000 as the base for single
over 65 years?

Thank you.
