Yes, even if you write « 0 » in the column « traitements et salaires » or if the amount you write is very small, do it. It's important.

In a few months, when other people receive a « avis d'imposition », you will receive a « avis de non imposition » on which will be written you must pay « 0 euros ».

This « avis de non imposition » is important, keep it. If you have children, you'll be entitled to reductions thanks to this document. If you want a loan or a mortgage, you might also have a special one thanks to this « avis de non imposition ».

It's not a choice, it's decided by the administration.

You'll have a « réduction d'impôt » (cut in taxes, if you're entitled to) if you pay taxes. It means you'll pay less taxes.

You'll have a « crédit d'impôts » if you pay no taxes. For this, you must have spent money improving your home (insulation, solar energy...). A « crédit d'impôts » means you receive money from the government.
