Do I need to file because I receive child support?

Child support received is not entered on a tax return.

If you have no other type of income received in 2022 then there is no need to file a 2022 tax return.

Child support is not taxable income; you do not enter child support on a tax return. And....unless you have any sort of income received from working, you will not be eligible for child-related refundable credits like the child tax credit or earned income credit.
