It is important to know that a taxpayer with an ITIN number can claim this credit only if the child or dependent minor has a valid Social Security number for employment. “You cannot claim the Child Tax Credit for a minor with an ITIN. The minor must have a Social Security number to be eligible for the Child Tax Credit (CTC),” explains the IRS.
“For a minor to be eligible for the CTC, they must be a citizen, national or resident of the United States, and must have been under 17 years of age at the close of the tax year,” which in this case would be tax year 2023.
