I rec'd a 2016 1098T but didn't file since i didn't work. I have a $1K american op. credit if i file now. What is the late filing fee when there is no tax due to the IRS?

I am filing only my 2016 1098-T because i did not work 2016. Due to my tuition expenses i have a $1,000 refund. I am now basically filing 10 months late. What is my late filing penalty when there is no tax due to the IRS, rather just late filing?

There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if there are no taxes owed or there is a tax refund.

Got it. Thank you.
