I haven’t filed a return in at least 13 years for I was unemployed. Will this affect my current return?

[ModestaL]

Did you collect any unemployment benefits, any of those 13 years of being unemployed?

[cmmarion612]

No I have never received unemployment benefits.

[ModestaL]

Okay, then, you are good to go.

[cmmarion612]

That’s what I was hoping. Thanks for your time and help.

[ModestaL]

You're welcome.

No, if you have not earned any income and were not required to file for the past 13 years due to being unemployed, it will not affect your current return.
