Since you said you are not an American citizen, you may run into other issues. TurboTax can only prepare returns for American citizens and "resident aliens for tax purposes". It cannot prepare a Form 1040NR for non-resident aliens. I'm going to ask someone familiar with international filing to comment in this thread today and help you figure out how you are classified for tax purposes and what all you need to do. Please provide the following info:

What country is your citizenship? Did you work in the USA in 2018? When did you first come to the USA? What type of visa?

Also, what year was the "7-month-old" son born? Was he born in 2018? And are you preparing a 2018 return?

@pk12_2 Are you able to advise further in this thread when you are next in the forum? Thanks!

Assuming you are filing a tax return and your son has a social security number and you provided more than half of his support for the year you can claim the other dependent child tax credit of $500.
