If you have no income do you have to file a tax return?


My grandparent live in NJ. They are retired seniors with absolutely no income, meaning no federal money or retirement fund. Do they have to file a federal income tax return?

no you don't need to file a tax return if no income was earned in 2006.
If they truly have no income, then no, they don't need to file a return.
no
dont know.
Absolutely NOT! You are not required to file a return if you have no taxable income. They are safe! :)
No. They can file Form 1040EZ-T to capture the phone tax rebate if they wish, however.
No, you have to earn at least $3000 a year, per person, in order to file (that's what my tax preparer told me once).

I know someone said they could file to get the phone rebate, but I heard yesterday on talk radio it may not be worth it because you may pay more to file in order to get it unless you have all those records to prove how much you get back.
