Assuming a person has 0 income from any source is there any benefit to filing a tax return?
I know the IRS says not to, but I was wondering if there was any benefit aside from the fact years of back returns can assist with certain help like welfare.
*I got into an argument with someone who claimed you should always file even with no income because you still qualify for refunds, like the IRS will send you a check just for filing with a child or something. That didn’t sound right to me.
