Yes. ITIN filers can claim the Child Tax Credit (CTC). However, there are still requirements that must be met. To claim these credits, the dependent child (or children) must:
- Live in your home for over half the year (limited exceptions to this rule apply)
- Be your child, stepchild, adopted child, or foster child, or your brother or sister or stepsibling (or a descendant of any of these)
- Be under 17 years old at the close of the year
- Not provide over half of his or her own support for the year, and
- Be a U.S. citizen or resident
