Legal Question in Tax Law in New York

For the last two years, our accountant has told my husband and I that we do not have to file income taxes because we have no taxable income to report. We have our social security statements, our medical bills and donations and the statement from our retirement anniuty account which we have been withdrawing from the last 5 years. Is the accountant giving us the correct information when saying we do not have to file?
