Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you. It’s now clear that it is unlikely to obtain an SSN for our child, as we will be on these visas (I am on an L-1 visa, and my dependents – spouse and child – are on L-2 visas) for approximately the next 4-5 years, until our Green Card process is completed. Therefore, there is no point in filing for an extension until October.

However, do you think the child on L-2 visa is eligible to obtain an ITIN now (so that we can get $500 credit)? Thank you, this sounds promising.
