Do I need to file a state tax return if I only have Social Security income?

Asked 6 months ago
If you solely receive social security income, you may not be required to file a state tax return with the New Jersey Division of Taxation. Only taxpayers whose annual income exceeds a certain threshold are obligated to file a state tax return. As of 2021, if you are single and your gross income, which includes social security, exceeds $10,000, or if you are married and filing jointly with a gross income over $20,000, then you must file a state tax return. However, it is recommended to consult the New Jersey Division of Taxation or a tax professional for accurate and personalized advice based on your specific situation.
