Do I need to file taxes?

I did not work last year or earn any income except for $60 in TikTok earnings. Do I need to file taxes on that $60? I would actually prefer to file taxes on it because I could claim the child tax credit for my daughter, but when I went to file it said I wasn't eligible for some reason (I think because of the low amount it said), then it just wanted me to pay the filing fees which is almost $200. So if there's no way I can get the child tax credit, then I'd like to avoid having to pay $200 in filing fees, on earnings of only $60 if possible. Is it illegal to not file on those $60 of earnings? Thanks!
