    If you didn't pay any taxes because you didn't work, what do you expect to get back? I'm a little confused.

    You should file married and let your husband claim you and your child. That is the only way you will get any money.

    I can't file married because if I end up being able to get a check then it will not be able to go to my son because my husband has back child support and the whole refund will be taken. My son will get nothing

    Well, if you haven't paid any taxes out then you don't get anything back. I don't know what you should do. You husband should have been paying child support for the other kid that he had.

    You can file Form 8379 (Injured Spouse Allocation) with the return and claim the child under YOUR side of the refund. That way, at least some the refund will go to you and your child.
