Not sure whether to File this Year

I am supposed to apply for the FAFSA each year, and on the FAFSA it asks about our taxes (in case we file). I am not receiving a W-2 this year since I was not on a payroll for the entire year 2014. I have a copy of the 1098t, but it is Copy B, which states "this is important tax information and is being furnished to the IRS." I interpret that to mean that I don't have to file for 1098t since the IRS is already receiving that.

How should I proceed? I am asking for any advice to be on the safe side because I want to file if I am supposed to. The problem is, I am not sure what to file since I was not on a payroll and my 1098t was already furnished to the IRS.
