"You can't file a blank return. Complete your return before trying to file it."

Hmm.. it is complete. I just have nothing to put in it. :/ I guess I need to call the IRS tomorrow or something.

You're probably not rq=equired to file a return - Brian Jun 30, 16:46 1
- See his posts below - the IRS doesn't require it, but it will help with his student loan . -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 17:09
Did you try putting in the number 0? -- nm - Todd Manning Jun 30, 15:18 1
- Or what the IRS calls, the automatic audit number -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 15:20
in the time it's taken you to figure this out, you could have just filled out a form by hand hours ago -- nm - charlie Jun 30, 15:13 14
- Again... doesn't it take longer to process? Also, I think I will just put that I made like $200. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:15 13
  - Again, you're saying you'll just put that you made money instead of filling out a paper form? - Will Hunting Jun 30, 15:36 4
    - I am just going to mail it in. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:46
    - besides, I think $200 for the year is more suspicious than zero -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:38 2
      - Scratch offs! -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 15:42 1
        
        wouldn't he have to include any losing tickets as deductions to offset - zork Jun 30, 15:45
  - you could have filed three months ago and now you're worried about how long it will take? -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:22 3
    - Because three months ago I didn't know I needed to. The student loan system is rather convoluted, it is hard to figure out exactly what you need. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:28 2
      - I'm surprised that you're surprised that you would need it -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:33 1
        
        It is not something that is required, it is something I can use to get a lower payment. But not something that is required. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:47
  - you're not getting a refund. what does it matter how long it takes to process? if you're filed, you're filed -- nm - charlie Jun 30, 15:16 3
    - You have to file to get your FAFSA accepted. -- nm - Trish Jun 30, 16:33
    - Because I need the processed paperwork I guess? So I fill it, does the IRS send me anything? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:20 1
      - No, but you can order a transcript (on line) after it completes processing showing you filed. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 15:33
