If there was no income no reason to file correct?
I was not in the USA but I was also not working and had no income of any sort.
So I did not have anything to pay, that I'm sure of. However is there a law saying I must file every year even if no money is owed? I kind of doubt that but I have been wrong before.

Correct, if you made $0 income then you do not need to file. However, very few people actually make $0 income. If you had self-employment income over $400, then you must file (for all you tax geeks out there, he must pay SE tax) Do you really think you can make the argument that you didn't engage in any sort of activity that led to the creation of $400 of profit for yourself in a year? Not even selling pineapples in Bangkok?
