All my income is uneaned ( workers comp) do i have to file?

[DoninGA]

Workers' Compensation is not entered on a tax return.  If that is the only income you received in 2017 then you do not have to file a tax return.

Even if i dont HAVE to can i file anyway?

[VolvoGirl]

Yes but you will have to print and mail it.  Can’t efile a return with zero income.  Why do you want to file?  You don’t get anything for claiming dependents or deductions.
