Hi @LeonelR
Good questions.
You moved to Mexico and work in the U.S. As an U.S. Expat you are required to file Form 1040.
Regarding your dependent children:
- To be your dependent, the qualifying individual must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. resident alien, or a resident of Canada or Mexico for some part of the calendar year in which your tax year begins. Children usually are citizens or residents of the same country as their parents. If you were a U.S. citizen when your child was born, your child generally is a U.S. citizen. This is true even if the child's other parent is a nonresident alien, the child was born in a foreign country, and the child lives abroad with the other parent.
- Child must live with you over half of the year; you must provide more than half the support for the child
Regarding your father: (must meet the following tests)
- He must have gross income of less than $4,300 in 2021
- You must generally provide more than half of a person's total support during the calendar year
