Do I file taxes if I have not worked but have forms to file

I did not work at all last year. I lived off a serverance pay I got from the closure of my job. I have a mortgage interest statement, motor vehicle registration, form 1099-G, tax form from my 401K and my four children to claim as dependents. How do I go about this for filing a tax return?

Since severance pay is taxable income and FICA taxes also due if they were not withheld, you should recieve a 1099-Misc, showing if any taxes where taken out. If you want to do a paper return then get the booklet 1040 from your post office or library. Or go on line and find an efile program. I do not recommend tax act, or h&rblock.
