How do I file this year/do I need to file this year?

I'm not really sure how to file this year, or if I even need to. I didn't work at all and didn't collect unemployment. I did have financial aid from my school, I get SNAP, and I sold a car. What do I need to do?

You need to provide more details.

You can also use the IRS site at the link below.

What other details do I need to provide? I have 0 income from unemployment of any kind, I have 0 unemployment income. I did take out student loans, I receive SNAP, and I sold a car. Do I need to file this year and what do I need to report?

Student loans are not reported on a tax return. SNAP is not reported on a tax return. If you sold the vehicle for less than the purchase price, the sale is not reported on a tax return. Based on this you would not have to file a tax return since you did not have any reportable income.
