U.S citizen with kids overseas who are not U.S citizens.. Stimulus?
Hi,
I'm a U.S citizen who has two kids who are not registered as U.S citizens (yet), and the kids live overseas with my ex-partner (their mom). These are my biological kids.
I am just wondering if I can claim my kids for the $500 stimulus? Because we have been unable to register them as U.S citizens, and now with all the COVID-19 travel bans... I am completely unable to travel to their country to register them.. I'm actually stuck overseas myself right now and trying to figure out how to get back to the U.S.. so I cannot file anything in person in the U.S and need to file online.
Am I able to claim my kids for the $500 stimulus? I would love to send my ex and my kids that extra $1,000 ($500 x2).
I know it's an unusual question.. but can someone please advise what is allowed or not allowed in this situation?
