Dear TurboTaxRinaS,
Thank you for your advice.
> You won't actually use the 1040 to file your taxes, but use it (and include it in your return) to do the calculations for the IRS for the credit.
Could you please give an example situation when I need "to do the calculation for the credit with 1040"? I still don't understand why only 1040NR may not be sufficient. If I use 1040 for the calculation, can I claim the child tax credit even with a dual-resident status? (If so, use of 1040 makes sense.) Thanks!
