I'm going to dispute what Yankee says about "no refund." Technically, that is correct, in that what you might get is not a "refund," since you paid no taxes. However, you might get some money back.

My sig. other is over age 65. His only income is Social Secuity, and it is low enough so that he pays no taxes to either the federal or state government. However, he gets several hundred dollars from the state because he is low income. If he didn't file federal and state taxes, he wouldn't be able to collect this.

Your taxes should be pretty easy to do. I would recommend you get them done because, like my boyfriend, you might be eligible for things you don't even know about.

See if you can get them done by volunteers from AARP. They are well informed about credits, like what my boyfriend gets.
Thanks for this!
