@nsuda12345678- Just to make sure you understand ---- the replies above are correct as to whether others can claim you and/or the children. However, if you did not work in 2022 and have income from working, you are not going to be eligible for any child-related credits on a tax return of your own, so do not have expectations of getting a tax refund based on claiming the children. That might have been true for a 2021 tax return, but it will not be the case for 2022.
For tax year 2022, the only way you receive refundable child tax credit or earned income credit for claiming dependent children is to have income from working.
