Deductions & credits

In order to get the CTC for 2022 or 2023, you must have income from working.   If you did not work, you cannot get child-related credits.

 

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.
