If I have zero tax liability, can I still take the HOPE education credit and receive a refund?

I am disabled and have zero earned income but I do pay for education.

If I have zero tax liability, can I still take the HOPE education credit and receive a refund?

If you have no income that is required to be claimed on the Federal Tax return, you would not be eligible to claim the Hope Credit, This is a credit that helps reduce your Tax liability, It is not a refundable credit.
