Hi my gf is a stay at home mother and has 2 kids from a previous relationship. I saw that from one of later bills passed that it said the child tax credit income levels are now dropped down to nothing. So if she wants can she file her own tax return with no income to claim the fill amount for her kids? The reason I'm asking is because I usually claim her and her kids but only get the dependent credit which is significantly less than what she would get for both if she could file separately.
