"Taxable income" in the table below is not all income that is taxable, but rather the amount of your income that will be taxed, after subtracting the value of exemptions for yourself and your dependents and subtracting all adjustments to income (such as traditional IRA contributions, job related moving expense and alimony paid) and all deductions, whether you claim the standard deduction or itemize.

My situation is as follows: Wife earns social security income of $10,000 per year, husband earns $16,000 per year and the wife receives an additional $10,000 per year in social security for her disabled adult son. Is this couple required to file Taxes on this income? Thanks

We need more info on the husband's income of $16,000. Is it Social Security, or is it earned income from wages? Reply to that, and I'll give you the answer!
