Can I file taxes if I did not work last year but received child support?
I do not have a W2 or a 1099 or anything that pulled taxes. I did not work

No. If you had no income, you have nothing to enter on an income tax return. Child support is not entered on a tax return. All of the refundable child-related credits are based on having income from working, so you cannot receive a refund.

Child support is not reported on a tax return.
If you did not receive any taxable income of any kind in 2024, there is reason for you to file a 2024 tax return.
