Like, if its collapsed, do I file? Do I even have to?

I am most certainly going to pay my state tax, but then what? What about stuff like my social security funds?

(I am asking for others because we're at that point now I suppose)

Put a percentage of every paycheck into an index fund (ex: VTI) and sit on them for a few years. You too will have capital gains.

Average returns on index funds are 6%-8%/yr, compounding. They are a solid long-term investment.

A bit silly to go for VTI over VT, the US is in decline and international is accelerating.
