Hi Everyone,

My Fiance is leaving her son in the Philippines for a bit, and I'm wondering (since we will be supporting him financially) if we are allowed file for an ITN (Tax Number) for him, so I can claim him on my taxes for the next year?

 

Has anyone else gone thru this? And what did you do?

 

Thanks in advance

* Moved from K-1 P&P to Taxes & Finances During US Immigration. The question is not specific to the K-1/K-2 process but US tax processes. *

 

Is it possible to get an ITIN? I think so, but I'll defer to others for confirmation.

 

That said, on what basis would you claim the child on your taxes? If they live separately from you and abroad, they wouldn't meet the "qualifying child" requirement.

You're probably thinking of tax laws forever which allowed you a deduction for children  whom you provided more than 50% of their support. And yes you could have done that.  BUT it all changed with the new tax revamp starting with tax year 2018. Deductions (exemptions) for dependents were eliminated.
