I was on worker's comp all year in NC. Can I still file?

Workers compensation is not taxable and you do not enter it on a tax return,

Did you have any other income at all in 2020, besides the worker's compensation? If not, it's possible to file a tax return with no income, but why do you want to file a tax return if you had no taxable income? You are not going to get a refund if you had no income, and did not have any tax withheld.

Im not sure if I am. I am weighing my options and seeing if it would be worthwhile to do so. It is still early in the tax season, so I am in no rush to complete it, but wanted to see what options I had available and if I should bother doing it. Also, just how I would, as I am on worker's comp indefinitely, and accrued a lifelong injury, I will be on permanent disability because of it, and don't want to risk any mistakes when and if I have to file.
