I saw a post that incomes, excluding SS, didn't have to file federal tax returns under $10,000. How about in New York? Presumably it is the same, but you never know.
Minimum income for NYS filing...

To determine whether you have to file a New York State Tax return, use the online questionnaire at the following link. To start the questionnaire, click the button that says "Do I Have to File?"

By the way, your statement about federal filing requirements is not correct. Whether you have to file a federal tax return depends not only on your total income, but also on your filing status, age, whether or not you are a dependent, the type of income you have, and other factors. See "Do You Have To File?" on pages 6 & 7 of the IRS instructions for Form 1040, or "Who Must File" on pages 2 - 4 of IRS Publication 501.

Apparently I have to file a NYS but not a Federal return. Geez.
But thanks for your help.
