No there are no "stay at home mom" tax breaks. You are subject to all of the same tax laws and credits available to anyone else. If you worked for part of the year, you enter the W-2 or self-employment income you earned and enter your dependents on your tax return. Depending on how much you earned you may receive some child-related credits. But--if you only worked for "half a year"--how were you supported? Did someone else support you and the children? If so, perhaps that is who should be claiming you and/or the kids.
