== Even if you are self-employed, you have to pay into the tax system and file a return for the business--if it is just you, and you haven't incorporated, the 1040 will do fine. From what I understand, the IRS will not look askance if you do not have a profit the first three years, but you have to eventually make a minimum amount, or ithe IRS will consider it a hobby and disallow any losses on the business. There may also be a penalty if you owe tax and have not paid quarterly, so you may want to explore that.
== You are saying that you have no earned income of any kind and no withholding for 2007. In that case, you cannot file for a tax refund, nor can you claim the economic stimulus tax rebate. If you actually did have earned income and/or Social Security, Railroad Retirement or veterans' disability benefits last year totalling, in any combination, at least $3,000, you will qualify for a rebate, but you must file a tax return to get it, even if you are not otherwise required to file a return. More information: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179181,00.html == If you have absolutely no income, you may qualify for a refund from Earned Income Credit. See an example on how this credit applies:

Yes. You can actually file for a refund for the current year and two years previous. Right now you can file for a refund on tax years 2008, 2009, and 2010.
