To claim the EITC, you and your spouse (if filing jointly) must be U.S. citizens or resident aliens.
If you are a nonresident of the U.S. and receive effectively connected income, you may be able to claim some of the following credits: Foreign tax credit. Child and dependent care credit. Retirement savings contributions credit.
In order to claim someone as your dependent, the person must be: Either your qualifying child or qualifying relative. A U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, U.S. national or a resident of Canada or Mexico.
You can claim the Child Tax Credit as an expat if you have qualifying children. However, if you take advantage of the FEIE, it may limit or even eliminate the amount of the Child Tax Credit you can claim.
You should use your TIN for verification anytime you contact us about your business account. The only exception is if you're the sole proprietor of the business. In this case, please use your SSN instead.
ITIN is for tax purposes only; it does not authorize work and cannot be used as an identification number or for any purpose outside the tax system. If you must file a US tax return or are listed on a tax return as a spouse or a dependent and are not eligible to obtain a valid SSN, you must apply for an ITIN number.
