Retirement tax questions

In order to get back more than you paid in, you need to qualify for a refundable tax credit.  In order to qualify for a refundable tax credit, you need to have earned income.  None of the income you listed would be considered earned income so it would not qualify for any of the refundable credits.

 

This means, you would get back the amount you paid in which is the $85 but you would not get any more than that back.
