Whether or not you are employed is not relevant when completing a tax return.  You must enter all taxable income received during the year.

Child support is not entered on a tax return.

 

Do you have a specific question concerning the 2023 tax return that you will be completing?

You don't have to file if you only have W2 income under 13,850 but you can file to get back any withholding taken out in boxes 2 or 17.  But you don't get boxes 4 or 6 back.  If you got a 1099Misc or 1099NEC you have to file it as self employment income no matter how small the amount.
