I am wondering if my maternity leave and family leave can be used as income in order to file and claim my children?!?!

Level 7

It has to be earned income, like wages to be able to quantify for tax credits. You may still have to file.

Level 15

Refundable child-related credits like earned income credit and/or additional child tax credit are based on your income from working. You do not say how much income you received. You may need to fill a tax return and you can enter dependents, but entering dependents does not mean you will get those refundable credits.

Who has to file?
