Get a tax form (1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ, whichever works for you) and fill it out with the information you have, even though you don't need to file it. Then you will have the necessary line numbers and amounts to use in your FAFSA application. If that means all zeroes, then it will be zeroes.

If you are a senior in high school do you file the 2009-2010 FAFSA or the 2010-2011 FAFSA?

FAFSA runs from July 1st to June 30th. So, if you are looking to start college in January 2016, you would fill out a 2015-2016 FAFSA. However, if you are looking to start college in August 2016, you would need to fill out a 2016-2017 FAFSA because the date that you would be receiving financial aid is after the July 1st cut off.
