Why did I not get a refund

[babyboo4545]

I receive child support of 470.00 per month and two of my children receive SS!. Am I eligible for the Earned  Income credit?

You must have some type of earned income either from wages or a net profit from self employment before you would be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Child Tax Credit.

Social Security benefits received and child support is not earned income.
