I am a dependent student.

Do most people still file a tax return even though they have zeros in every category?

I put Not Going To FIle for my tax return in 2007. In the question immediately after the tax return question, I am asked the "Student's type of 2007 tax form used." I cannot leave the answer blank too.

It seems like the FAFSA assumes the student is going to file a 2007 tax return.

Does filing a tax return with zeros verify that the student cannot pay for any of the college tuition? Would that help one's case for financial aid?
