How to file a zero income tax return
Choose the correct form.
There are 3 different versions of the standard tax return: the 1040, the 1040a, and the 1040ez. If you're filing a zero income tax return, you'll probably not be using a 1040ez, which is for individuals with no dependents claiming no credits.
Most likely, you'll be filing the 1040a. If you're using online tax preparation software, it will automatically choose the correct form for you based on the information you provide.
