My family (J1/J2) turned resident alien for the tax year 2020 based on the substantial presence test after we arrived mid 2018. However, TurboTax does not allow me to claim my kids as dependents because they did never receive a SSN. Is there any way I can claim them as dependents without a SSN?
If no, do I need to file (federal/state MA) anything specific for my kids (I am confused because as nonresident alien I had to file Form 8843 for each child).
