Can I get a refund if i receive disability and claim my daughter

If you mean your income is Social Security disability then you do not need to file a tax return, and would not be eligible for refundable child-related credits.  Those credits are based on income from working.   Sorry.  Or are you receiving some other sort of disability that is reported on a W-2?

It depends. Depending on the type of disability payments you received determine if you need to report the income on your tax return.  If you received a tax form, then you need to report it on your return under the Wages and Income Section.

 

Refer to the TurboTax article Is disability income taxable? for more information.

 

If you file a tax return, you may be eligible for the Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, or Other Dependent Credit

 

For more information, refer to the TurboTax Help articles: 2024 and 2025 Child Tax Credit: Top 7 Requirements, What is the Child Tax Credit?, and What is the Additional Child Tax Credit?
