Do I file taxes even though I don't make money or work?

Turbo tax keeps giving warnings about "avoid IRS penalties". Should I be concerned about this?

If you had no income you have no reason or requirement to file a tax return.   It sounds like you have an old online account that is triggering marketing emails as the tax filing deadline approaches.

 

Who has to file?
