You don't qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit if you don't have work income, but some of the Child Tax Credit is now refundable. See a tax professional.
You may file if you wish. If you had enough income (which could be from investments, alimony, gambling, etc., even if you didn't work), then you must file. If you had no income, then it's up to you.

No income, no return to file. The IRS does not like $0 returns.
