Do I have to file a State Tax return if I only get $2.00 refund?

Its a New York State refund.  I would donate the $2.00.

The amount of your refund isn't related to whether or not you have to actually file a tax return.  New York generally requires you to file a tax return if you were required to file a federal return.

Then, review the federal filing requirements -
