Is it beneficial to file a tax return for 2007 when applying for FAFSA.

I selected "not going to file" and I am considering changing the question to "will file." If I dont have a spouse do I leave the spouse income blank or place a zero?

In addition I selected "Did not, and not required to, file an income tax return" in the CSS Profile, but provided information for student assets and income.

Will the colleges use the "student" information provided on the CSS profile or will the student information be ignored because I am not filing a tax return for 2007.

This is really confusing me and I have been researching for several hours already.

Sharing any experiences or thoughts will be great.
