Maybe. You can visit the IRS interactive tool for Child Tax Credit to determine eligibility or visit IRS Pub 972 Child Tax Credit for more details. There is a section on eligibility in the Economic Impact Payment Information Center. Not sure if you are expat or quite what your situation is. Expat does qualify.
Below are the requirements for CTC.
A child must meet the following eight requirements to be considered a qualifying child for the Child Tax Credit:
1) Is the taxpayer’s son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, sibling, step-sibling, half brother, half sister, or a descendant of any of them (grandchild, niece, nephew, etc.),
2) Lived with the taxpayer for more than half of the year,
3) Was under age 17 at the end of the year,
4) Did not provide over half of his or her own support during the year,
5) Is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien (child tax credits are not allowed for nonresident alien children residing in Canada or Mexico even if they qualify as dependents),
6) Is younger than the taxpayer claiming the child,
7) Does not file a joint tax return unless the return is filed to claim a refund, and no tax liability would have existed had the child and spouse filed separately, and
😎 Is claimed as a dependent of the taxpayer claiming the Child Tax Credit.
