Your income that is equal to or less than the standard deduction is not taxable, the IRS doesn't require you to file a return in years your income doesn't exceed that sum. When determining whether you need to file a return, you don't include tax-exempt income. In 2018 for example, if you are under age 65 and single, you must file a tax return if you earn $12,000 or more, which is the 2018 standard deduction for a single taxpayer.

他们的退休金有超过每人1.2W，不过中国的退休金可以exempt对吧？
只要你确认中国的退休金可以exempt，父母的其他收入不超过$24000，应该可以不报税。
你需要确认每年在美国待半年是不是可以exempt中国的退休金，这个我不清楚。
个人意见，欢迎指正。
