File taxes with Notice 2014-7

[Pcrow9]

I quit my job in Dec. 2022 and became my wife's full time caregiver with Notice 2014-7. I do not have a W2 or 1099. No Social security or medicare taxes were taken out of my wages. I have 2 children that I am trying claim the EITC for. I was told that I can still claim the credit even without the W2 or 1099. Even though I am exempt from Federal state taxes, how do I file to claim the EITC?
