The only income I had was from welfare.

It never ceases to amaze me how ppl. get everything for free and still want more. And you want to use your child to help you do it. Amazing! Simply amazing!
Why doesn't everyone who works just take their checks directly to those who don't and hand them over. Sorry, bad idea. It still wouldn't be enough.

Sure, why not. Fill them out and see what happens. No sense in wasting an opportunity to take money from hard working people who have paid in to the system.
If you have a kid and aren't making any money as income, you must already be on some sort of welfare so go for more free money.

Did you pay taxes on your welfare money? If yes, then, assuming you have a very low income, you may get all that tax money back. If you need financial help for your child, call your state's info line (sometimes 211) and they may be able to hook you up with the appropriate services.

Tax brakes and deductions for kids, education medicine and everything else is only off what you owe the goverment. For example if you owe 100$ and you have a deduction of 75$ you would only owe 25$. Now in the same example if you only owed 50$ and you had a 75$ deduction you would owe nothing but the goverment would owe you nothing. Its just a deduction or brake, not credit.

If 'no income' means no interest form savings accounts, dividends from stocks, and no form of money coming into your pocket whatsoever...you won't be able to wiggle any money out of Uncle Sam.

If you had zero income as of 2006, you will get back 'ZERO" since you didn't put anything in the system. You're already getting free money! wink-wink!
As of your child, if his/her dad/grandparents lend a hand in helping you raise him/her they can claim the child.

Yes- you would get a form like a T4 (I don't know what it's called in the US) and you can claim your son as a dependant. You also can claim your rent unless it's included in you welfare.

Depends, there are restricts for example: "Families must have taxable earned income above $11,300 to qualify for the Child Tax Credit refund."

I do not think so. I would call your local H&R Block and ask them over the phone.

You have to have taxes withheld if you have any hopes of a refund.
