In 2016 I am filing my n-400 and I have a question, I have my 4 year tax transcript, the first year in 2016 I didn’t work?I did not work and I was a student, my question is that for my n-400 ,I have my 4 year tax return, for 2016 I didn’t have income , so I don’t file a tax return, do I file a zero tax return for 2016 , and it says part 12 have you ever not filed a tax , shell I say yes or no because in 2016 I didn’t work, or shell I just file my 2016 with zero income, advice is appreciated
A:
When you don't file a tax return because you are not required to file a tax return per IRS rules, you would answer YES to not having filed a tax return and simply explain why you were not required to file for that year. Best wishes!
