I came to the USA in 2023 and did taxes for the first time, so I tried to follow the procedure step by step but needed to understand the laws and requirements fully. I am a single parent and the only breadwinner in the family. I have a 6-year-old son, so I was hoping to get a child credit return. As soon as I found out that to fill out the taxes, I needed to specify the SSN of my child (which I did not have at that time), I immediately submitted an online application to receive the document (it was 04.10.2023). It took about a month to get the document, so I made an extension and filed taxes when I got my child's SSN.
Lately, I received a letter from the IRS saying I was denied:
- credit for other dependents
- refundable Child Tax Credit
- nonrefundable Child Tax Credit
- additional Child Tax Credit
- Earned Income Credit
because I did not have the child's SNN by the due date of the tax return.
Please help me figure out if there is any way or procedure that will help me appeal and get a refund for 2023. I did not see any information regarding the SNN date of issuance when filing the tax declaration. Technically, the SSN was already in the registration process on the due date of the tax return.
