If I had no income for 2018 but lived off of my life savings how do I correctly file?

[meltontiffany]

I had no income for the 2018 tax year but I was a full time college student who received a 1098 how do I file correctly? Do I just solely file the 1098?

If you had no earnings, no income, and no tax withholding, you do not need to file.. 

There would be no available credits if you had no earnings
