adeboloj, I was trying to ask you basically the same thing in the other post :) on the 1040NR, as I said to get the CTC (line 49) or the Additional CTC (line 64) it clearly says that the kids need the SSN. nelsona had indicated as you can seen in the last post that the CTC would go on the 1040NR and...

for the 1040NR Is anyone claiming the Child Tax Credit (CTC)? or Credit for Other Dependents (ODC)? I am getting confused with things because it clearly says that for the CTC you need SSN. Since my kids are Canadian citizens and residents and only have ITINs, they clearly do not qualify. So then it ...

When filling the 1040 Pro Forma, we put our name, SSN, and address in Canada. Do we then fill in the info for the spouse and kids or that is just left blank?

nikitapunch, Thank you for all your input. I will sit down and read it all again. You have been very helpful. I was going to post a message to you but you beat me to it. If I have any further clarifications that I need, and that you might be able to help with, I will msg you. I read pub 519 chapter ...

Not a problem. Not try to argue with you but wanted to state a couple of facts. My longest post (the first one) had 4885 characters with spaces. Someone else (specifically nikitapunch) had a post with 7735 characters with spaces. so like I said some others have had way longer posts than mine to expl...

Okkk Not sure what I have done wrong. Many others had long if not longer descriptions of their situations than mine, and you had detailed answers and explanations for their questions and/or confirmed for them whether they were doing things right or wrong, just as I was trying to do. Definitely no on...

nelsona, Thank you for your reply and I do understand where you are coming from. -Foreign taxes paid on the Pro Forma go under itemized deductions I assume? Thus I would have to choose between that and the $24000 standard deduction, right? -Well the money is from my wife's parents, but the account i...

nelsona, so I read the pub 519 (chapter 4) as you had suggested and I think I understand what it is saying. Sorry for the long post but I am still not clear on some issues. In my case I think that there is 1 option that I have in dealing with this interest and foreign taxes paid issue among other th...

Thank you for reply, but that is a bit confusing, what is meant by that line46 (foreign tax credit) on 1040NR, I can see not being able to use it for overseas tax paid on the interest, but you are saying I cannot even use it for tax paid to Canada in 2018?

Thank you both for your replies. nelsona, 1) I am still not clear whether in my case (kids are Canadian Citizens and Residents, Not US Citizens/Residents, have ITINs for both but no SSN) can I claim the tax credit for them on 1040NR. 2a) the overseas bank account that has interest is in both my wife...

Hi nelsona, There is been much confusion prior to laying my hands on this forum. All lot is not clear but still I have a couple of questions. But first here is my situation: - I am Canadian Citizen and Resident. I live in Canada and commute to work in USA (TN Visa) every day. Only source of income i...
