Deductions & credits
Yes, if you meet all the criteria and the child has a SSN, you are eligible to take the Child Tax Credit.
To qualify for the Child Tax Credit there are seven tests which must be met:
· Child must be younger than age 17 by December 31
· Must by your child (biological, step, adopted or foster); brother or sister; niece, nephew or grandchild
· Must provide half their support
· Must be claimed as your dependent (see Qualifying Child Test)
· Must be US Citizen, US National or Resident Alien
· Must live with you more than half the year
Since you are a non-resident, you must file your taxes with form 1040NR, which is not support by TurboTax.
You should use our partner, Sprintax.
