Sorry--no.

 

Have you entered income from working in 2023?  If not,  you will not receive an income tax refund based on having dependent children.   It was ONLY for tax year 2021 that you could get the child tax credit even if you did not work.  The "old" rules are back.   If you did not work in 2023, you are not eligible.

 

AND….If you have children but had  little or no income, it raises the question of how you and the children were supported.  There may be another tax-paying adult who can claim you and/or the children as dependents.
