Is this correct? You are correct. The children failed the test in 2008 because Canada or Mexico in 2008. If they had been US residents and merely lacked SSNs, then one could go back to 2008 and claim them. -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |

| US Citizenship for Children I have asked this question before, but I just wanted to be sure before filing. My son, a US-born citizen, not a current resident of the us, who did not reside in the US long enough to get his children US citizenship, had them naturalized based on my being in the US long enough. Since this was done in 2009, I understand from the previous answer, that he can not claim them as dependents for 2008. Is this correct? -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |
