Need to file 2021 return but as zero

[rjs]

What do you mean by filing "as zero"? Do you mean that you had no income at all in 2021, or do you mean that you will not get a refund, or do you mean something else? Please explain.

If you had no income in 2021, why do you want to file a 2021 tax return? How did you support yourself with no income? Can someone claim you as a dependent?

if you need to file this for, say, student loan or other purposes; just add $1 of interest and then efile.
