What amount of income requires filing tax return?

The requirement to file a tax return depends on your filing status, age, and gross income. For the tax year 2022, for example, single filers under 65 must file if their gross income is at least $12,950. Different thresholds apply for other filing statuses, such as married filing jointly or head of household. Always check the latest IRS guidelines, as these thresholds can change annually.
