I was unemployed for 4 years with $0 income. It was my understanding I did not need to file tax returns. Is this correct?

Hi! I'm a TurboTax Live CPA. That is correct however if you had any witholding paid on your unemployment you would need to file a return in order to claim that.
If you have had no income at all then you are not required to file a tax return. Is there someone else who can claim you as a dependent? How are you supported?
Who has to file?
