Gross income means all income you receive in the form of money, goods, property, and services that isn't exempt
from tax, including any income from sources outside the United States or from the sale of your main home (even
if you can exclude part or all of it). It also includes gains, but not losses, reported on Form 8949 or Schedule D.
Gross income from a business means, for example, the amount on Schedule C, line 7, or Schedule F, line 9. But,
in figuring gross income, don't reduce your income by any losses, including any loss on Schedule C, line 7, or
Schedule F, line 9. Don't include any social security benefits unless (a) you are married filing separately and you
lived with your spouse at any time in 2016 or (b) one-half of your social security benefits plus your other gross
income and any tax-exempt interest is more than $25,000 ($32,000 if married filing jointly). If (a) or (b) applies,
see the Instructions for Form 1040 or Pub. 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits, to
figure the taxable part of social security benefits you must include in gross income.
***
If you didn't live with your spouse at the end of 2016 (or on the date your spouse died) and your gross income
was at least $4,050, you must file a return regardless of your age.
