Did you have any income besides the W2s?  Are you someone's dependent? How did you live on less than $5000 of income?

For year of 2015, for single filing status, under age of 65, you are required to file a return if your gross income ( total ) is at least $10300 or $11850 for over age 65.  

https://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar02.html#en_US_2015_publink1000220702- review under Table 1.2015 Filing Requirements Chart for Most Taxpayers 

If somebody might claim you, you are considered as other's dependent, then review under  Table 2.2015 Filing Requirements for Dependents

No, I believe you must earn at $10,300 or more before filing if you are single

Unless you are someone's dependent or had self employment income.
