4.Since becoming a lawful permanent resident, have you ever failed to file a required Federal, State, or local tax return?

I'm having a problem with the question above, if someone can help, I really appreciate it.

My question is, I didn't file a tax report 5 years ago, when I first move into USA. Because I was only a student and didn't have a job. And i heard that i really don't need to file a tax return because basically i didn't earn any money.

So what should i mark? I can't exactly mark "yes, i have failed to file a tax return" because i didn't really need to file a return since i didn't earn any money. but also i can't mark "no, i didn't' fail" because i didn't file a tax return at that year.:(

thanks for help..
 
Just answer No. Yes only when you did not file when the filing was required. If income is below a l;imit, then it
is not requried
