Answer #1

Assuming the Tax year to be 2019.

Jack and Kendra

MFJ - 2019

If any of the clients have only Social Security benefits without any other taxable income then there is no need for such clients to file a tax return.

In the above case, Jack and Kendra are retired couples with no other income except to Social Security benefit (Military pension is not taxable) and interest income is very less has the Standard deduction itself is $27,000.

So, none of the couples social security benefit is taxable for the tax year 2019.
