<prompt> Human: The title pretty much sums up the situation. I received a check for 120 this year and when I cashed it I had to give my ssn. I have maybe 50 cents. I dont work and never have, Im currently going g through the process of getting disability assistance. I found something online that said independent contractor payments under 400 annually dont need to be reported. Does this mean I dont need to file at all?  <response>: If your income is that low, you dont need to file a federal income tax return.
