Friends,

I have researched this topic and have come up with a couple of conflicting opinions. I would appreciate any thoughts on this topic, but please base them in some kind of verifiable information, not just what you think the answer is.

If a US citizen provides the financial support of their child under the age of 19 who lives in another country (and has no US residency status), can that child be claimed as a deduction on Federal Income Taxes?

Thanks!

I think everyone that you claim as a deduction on your taxes have to have a social security number. So, that might be one of the reason you can't claim your child on your taxes. The child might also have to be in your custody in order for you to claim him; I am not sure.
