As WealthBuilder said; the year after you die

You don't have to file 1 year after you are gone!
You are exempt from filing if you have taxable income BELOW the threshold. For a 79 Year old Widow/er you don't have to file if your taxable income is $9150 or under.
If your ONLY income is from Social Security, no matter how much it is you don't need to file
IF your primary income is from SSA, as long as all income from all other sources is less than $9150, your good to not file also.
Although you could CHOOSE not to file if you qualify this year, this is a BONUS year! Due to the Telephone Tax Refund, you automatically qualify for at least a $30 refund! Lucky you!

If you have income above the limit where you're required to file, then you must file until the year after you die. Someone will have to file your "final return" for the year you die. There isn't an age where you get to quit filing.

As long as you have income and you are still alive, you have to file income taxes. It actually depends on how much you earn, not your age.
