If you are a J1 student,and have not been in the US previously on either a J1 or F1 visa, you will need to file a nonresident tax return for 2019. . TurboTax does not support nonresident returns. We partner with Sprintax.com for nonresident returns.
Nonresident returns can only be filed as married filing separately or single.
Generally dependents are not entered on a 1040NR.. Only U.S. nationals, residents of Canada, Mexico, and South Korea, and residents of India who were students or business apprentices may have a qualifying dependent on line 7.
Children without Social Security numbers do not qualify for the Child Tax Credit. However for the Credit for other Dependents is a non-refundable tax credit up to $500 per person and allows ITINs should they be able to be claimed on a nonresident return next year.
