Absolutely; even the unemployed can file income tax returns. Employment is not the only source of income - you could have investment income, interest payments on bank accounts, social assistance payments, pensions, etc. And even if you have no income at all, you can still file an income tax return. Sometimes it makes sense to do so - for example, there may be a renters' credit for which you are eligible, that will actually be paid to you, despite the fact that no income was withheld.
