Could / would the IRS confirm if a filing was actually due? There was no income.
I don't think they can tell you that, but call them and ask. 800-829-1040.
Remember that when you call the IRS you are not getting an official IRS response. You are just talking to a call center employee. The IRS's latest figure for the accuracy of their telephone service is 91.6%. That means that 1 out of every 12 answers that they give is wrong. If you happen to be the one out of 12 that gets a wrong answer, it's your responsibility to know that it's wrong, and to fulfill your tax obligations correctly. Relying on what an IRS telephone rep said is not an excuse for failing to meet your obligations.
