Yes. You have to pay taxes on both earned and unearned income. In tax language "earned income" means income from a job or self-employment. "Unearned income" is other income such as interest on your bank accounts or profits from investments. A sufficient amount of earned or unearned income requires you to file. Even if you do not have enough income to be required to file, you can still file. If you really want, you can even file if you have no income of any kind.
There may be a few situations where you must file. For example, if you didn't take the required minimum distribution on an IRA or 401k, or you owe an overcontribution penalty for your IRA. But usually if you really have no income, you don't have to file. But you would be surprised how many people don't know that you can have taxable income from sources other than a job.
