@mrchrisayers Sorry---the earned income credit and the child tax credit are only available to filers who had income from working. Congress wrote the tax law that way. For 2021 the child tax credit was treated differently, but it has changed for 2022 returns. If you did not have income from working in 2022 you cannot get EIC or CTC. Sorry.
