If you have no income, then you would not file a return.

If you are claimed as a dependent on your parents return, then they would add your 1098-T to their return to take any education credits that you would be eligible for.

Thanks but I’m a graduate student about to graduate and need to file a tax return for loan repayment purposes.

You can file a zero-income tax return for free through TurboTax.intuit.com. or with the IRS.

Here’s how it works if you do not have a tax filing requirement:

Go to IRS.gov/FreeFile
Select “Choose an IRS Free File Offer” blue button
Select “Browse all offers” and look for a product that has no minimum income requirement
Select the product that best meets your needs and you will be automatically redirected to the company’s website
Answer the tax product questions to complete your tax return, accurately reporting your taxable income, if any
If you have no taxable income, simply answer the questions including those requesting information needed to compute the Recovery Rebate Credit
Complete the information for your refund, sign the return and file it electronically.
