No, not yet, because you are still considered a non-resident alien and you cannot file a Form 1040 to claim the Child Tax Credit.
International students on F1 visas are automatically considered
non-resident aliens for their first 5 calendar years in the US,
and need to file form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ. These are not supported
by TurboTax, but we recently started a partnership with Sprintax to offer
a nonresident tax filing solution to our TurboTax customers. Visit the TurboTax/Sprintax site for more info or to get started.
Once you’ve been in the US for longer than the 5 calendar years, the Substantial
Presence Test will determine if you should be taxed as a resident or nonresident alien. Only after you qualify to be taxed as a resident alien can you then qualify for the Child Tax Credits.
