Hi, I'm an immigrant and my kids are transition from having ITIN to SSN. Can I file for extension and wait for their SSN to get their stimulus and child tax credit? Thx!

Are my kids eligible for recovery rebate and child tax credit when they only get their SSN in 2021? They've been in the US for whole 2020 but using ITIN.

Yes. Once your kids have their SSN, they will qualify for both the rebate and child tax credit.
