"Also, please be aware, "you may not claim your child as a qualifying child for the Child Tax Credit if your child doesn't have an SSN before the due date of your return (including extensions), even if your child later gets an SSN" (IRS). The same applies for the Earned Income Credit. "
So I cannot claim those credits because the US government basically shut down , and I was unable to get a social security number for nearly two years?
