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 2017 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 2017 (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.
