Can i file taxes if...?

There is likely no reason for you to file a return. Since you had no earned income, you don't qualify for any tax credits related to having a child.

I can think of only two reasons for you to file a return: 1) If any grants and/or scholarships you received exceeded your eligible education expenses, or 2) If you meet the very strict guidelines to qualify for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit. You can find details about that credit (and the rules for the refundable portion) here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8863.pdf

Only if you can claim the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit. Qualified educational expenses that you paid out of pocket, including using loan proceeds that you alone must repay, qualify for the AOC. Costs covered by grants and scholarships do not.

If you didn't work you don't file taxes. What return would you get? If over the course of one year, you didn't earn any money, then you wouldn't need to give money to the government therefore you wouldn't receive a return. It's only if you work. If you made any money at all over the course of the previous fiscal year, then you would report that. But if you didn't have a job where you would've made at least a decent amount of money, then don't report anything, you didn't make anything.

If you have no income, there is no money for you to receive, no matter what you claim.

A tax return is the papers you file. A REFUND is money you get back....but that requires earned income, from a job. The government does not pay you to be in school and have kids.

if you have no income there is no reason to file

however, if any of the grant money is used for anything other than education expenses, the amount used could be claimed as income to you

this is not earned income and since no taxes were withheld, there is nothing to refund

You can file, but won't get any money, unless you're eligible for the refundable part of AOC which is not likely. You get no money for your child when you didn't work. .
