can I declare taxes and will i still get credit for my 2 children?

Question

even if i only worked like for 4 month?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as you had income, you can file. The child tax credit is not a refundable credit, which means that the most you get from that is the amount of your total tax for the year. If you don't owe tax given that you only worked 4 months, you might be eligible for something called the "additional child tax credit".

You might also be eligible for the Earned Income Credit as long as your filing status isn't married filing separately.

When you get your tax info together, check irs.gov for the location of your nearest VITA site. This is a group where trained volunteers do your taxes at no charge as long as your income isn't higher that around $38,000 for the year. They'll know about the credits so can figure them for you. Most sites have the ability to file electronically.

Answer 2

Yes you can do this. No matter what you have income so you need to file. You can get the EIC so long as you are not filing married filing separate.
