F1 RA with no SSN or ITIN

[wjlall]

I've been on F-1 visa as an international student for the past 6 years. I've never had a job or received any income. I don't have an SSN or ITIN, what do I need to file?

If you have had no income you do not need to file an income tax return.

Who has to file?

Thanks for the reply. I got an email from school indicating nonresident aliens not earning income still need to file form 8843. But as a resident alien, is there a form I have to file or submit, like 8843 for nonresident?
