N-400 tax question

[MQ98 0]

I have been trying to apply for citizenship but everytime I get to the "Have you ever not filed federal, state or local taxes since you became permanent resident?" Question I get overwhelmed and put the application on hold. I am applying as a single, never married person and the checklist shows that the only things I need to provide are the front and back of my permanent resident card and the payment for the required fees, but when I look at the question I'm not sure if I should answer with no or yes and if I need to provide some other documents depending on the answer. I am currently 20, been a full time student for the whole period (still am) and havent had work or any source of income at all. I have been listed as dependent on my parents taxes for all the years but for 2017 I was separated but havent filed anything. Do I answer yes and if so what do I submit since I'm doing the application online?

You can still answer no. My friend filed under the 5 years type (he married but divorced his us citizenship wife). In his interview the IO asked if he filed tax for 2018 and wanna see it but he said he is a full time student so he doesn’t work thus no tax. If your name was under your parents tax return just bring those with you, it’s just bad that if you actually been working  and didn’t file tax. So if u have no income whatsoever no need to file tax at all.

But in 2017 I wasnt listed as dependent. Is there like a certified form I can get from the IRS to prove why I didnt file cause taking my parents 2017 tax return wouldnt help since I'm not listed on there

If you don’t receive any w2 (means that you’re working) then irs doesn’t have any document for you. Don’t worry too much, they can’t ask for it if u never need to file tax. Bring your school transcript stating that you’re in school full time if you still worried.
