Sorry---if you did not have income earned from working in 2022, you are not eligible for child-related credits like earned income credit or the child tax credit. Tax year 2021 was the ONLY tax year for which you could get the child tax credit even if you did not work, but could claim a dependent under the age of 18. The rules are back to the "old" rules for 2022 and beyond.
