I'm a US citizen and send money (monthly) to support parents who are foreign nationals and reside abroad (they've never been to US). I've been supporting them for many years now but could not claim them as dependents as they do not have a social security number or ITIN number (appears to be a requirement to claim a dependent). I thought I'd ask the question to the forum this year to see if anything has changed or there was some other way to account for this support. Can I get any credit on my taxes for supporting them? Thank you.
