Hi All,
Greetings! My daughter is born in India and has an ITIN. Last couple of years I filed, I was not able to claim child tax credit since she doesn't have a SSN. However, she is now eligible to get SSN in Feb/March 2021 time frame.
1) If I file my taxes after she receives her SSN, will I be able to claim child tax credits on my 2020 tax return? Since I am going to file a tax return for 2020 and since she didn't have a SSN during that year, will that make her ineligible?
2) Similar question pertaining to stimulus tax credit; Since she didn't have SSN, she didn't receive any stimulus money during April 2020 or Jan 2021. Once she gets her SSN during Feb/March, is there any provision to claim any tax credits pertaining to economic stimulus?
I am not too optimistic on either of the above, but wanted to check with experts here.
thanks in advance and a happy new year!
Regards,
Sid
