Question on FAFSA "For 2016, have you completed your IRS income tax return or another tax return?" My parents claimed me on theres, so do I answer "not going to file" Or?

When I try to connect to my IRS to get my taxes transferred it says, "there's no record for 2016." Does this mean I didn't file since I was a dependent on my parents taxes?

Like I said FAFSA is asking me that question and the three options are "Already completed" "Will file" or "Not going to file," I don't know what the right answer would be.

Please help.

If you were a dependent on your parent's tax return and you did Not personally file a tax return for yourself, then the answer would be "Not going to file".
