You will probably need to file even if you didn't work, you may have income from a savings/checking account here in the US, that may be taxable.
Believe it or not the IRS may tax you even if you worked in another country other than the US. There are all kinds of IRS laws regaurding this.
You can file even if you owe no tax, this may stop the IRS from rasing a red flag on you. They might want to know why didn't you file, if you have previouslly done so.
Best thing is to go to a tax professional, and hurry, even if all you do is file for and extension.

FYI. I didn't work at all in 2005 and I don't have an interest account, and I recently received a letter from the IRS about that year and why I didn't file. I'm taking this to professionals who do taxes to straighten out this mess. I suggest going to a professional and file. I say go to a professional because they know the laws. You don't want trouble with the government for any reason.

If you did not have any income (work, interest, etc.), then you do not have to file. If you feel the need to file, anyway, you can, by placing a "0" in box 1.

If you were out of the country and had no income, you would have filed a normal return as if you were in the country with income. The income in this instance is ZERO!

If you had no income for the year there's no need to file at all. This assumes that you had no income while you were outside the country as well.
