I have a child 11 y.o. (dependent) who qualifies for the Child Tax Credit in the U.S., because my child meets all the following criteria except the last one (no SSN, as SSA refused us to issue it for the child, because the child is on L-2 visa):
- Age Requirement: The child must be under the age of 17 at the end of the tax year.
- U.S. Citizen, U.S. National, or Resident Alien: The child must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or resident alien.
- Relationship: The child must be the taxpayer's son, daughter, adopted child, or stepchild.
- Dependent Status: The child must be claimed as a dependent on the tax return.
- Social Security Number (SSN): The child must have a valid SSN issued by the Social Security Administration.
Based on that, I understand, that I am not eligible to obtain child tax credit for the 2024 tax year.
Is it possible in TurboTax to resolve this issue and somehow to get an SSN for the child?
If not, maybe you can suggest how to manage this situation in general. Thank you.
