Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@aff 88 , I am now confused .   What I get is that you and your wife both were in USA on a  B visa  (  visitor for business or pleasure ); you had a child  who was born in the USA;  Child  has US citizenship ( Passport + SSN ); all of you live abroad.  

In my opinion:

(a) Since you  ( Non-Resident Alien ) do not have any income  from the USA, there is no requirement for you to file a US return;  

(b)  Because the child  is US citizen , a minor ,with ZERO  world income, there is no requirement for  the child to file a return .

(c) you as a Non-Resident Alien are not eligible  for any child related credits  because you  have  no income  that is US sourced / connected.

 

 You can always visit the IRS section of the  US consulate in Qatar -- they  will help you .

Good Luck
