    If you have no earned income from work or any other type of taxable income in 2024 then there is no need to file a tax return, with or without dependents.  You would not be eligible for any kind of tax credit that is based on earned income, such as the Child Tax Credit or the Earned Income Tax Credit.

    No, that is not considered earned income.
