I've been out of work for all of 2016 and 2015. I've had no gross income, and have no refund coming. Do I have to file my Federal tax?

I just want to be sure, as my only option is to mail it. Should I still do it even though I'm below the minimum filing requirements?

If you had no income, then you are not required to file unless you have a special filing situation. Please view the Turbo tax FAQ below for more information.
