ITIN Number with 1040 NR

Post by mk1976 »

I am a Canadian Citizen working in TN Visa since July 2014. I was finling 1040NR as I was unable to meet the Substantial Presence Test. I was filing through H&R Block, but the lady said that W7 will be rejected if sent with 1040 NR. I was applying for ITIN number for my Canadian born Son. My spouse has an ITIN number already from earlier. The problem is if I do not apply for ITIN number I lose the deductions for him. I am not sure if the information I am getting is correct. Any help is appreciated.

HR Blockhead is wrong. submit with 1040NR and DO NOT USE HRBLOCKHEAD for these issues.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
