Can I get the Child Tax Credit for a child with an ITIN, not a social security number?
Yes, with an individual tax identification number (ITIN), you can claim the Child Tax Credit if you otherwise qualify. The Child Tax Credit can only be claimed by the parent claiming the child as a dependent. Please refer to the Instructions for Form 1040 or the Instructions for Form 1040A index for the Child Tax Credit. The referenced pages will explain who qualifies for the Child Tax Credit, and how to calculate it.
