Deductions & credits

Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.  You say you are not living in the U.S.   Do you have any  U.S. sourced income?   If not, then you have no reason to file a 2023 tax return.  Filing a tax return because your children are citizens would not yield a refund for you or for the children.
