Sorry---the tax laws changed from 2021 and for 2022 the laws are much less generous. If you did not work in 2022, you are not eligible for child-related credits. The refundable additional child tax credit is based on how much you earned from working, as is the earned income credit. And the child and dependent care credit is only available if you paid someone to take care of your child so that you could work.
AND….If you have children but had little or no income, it raises the question of how you and the children were supported. There may be another tax-paying adult who can claim you and/or the children as dependents.
