Q: Non-citizen couple have SSNs by temporary work in US. Can they continue filing taxes from abroad without any US income?
A non-citizen (no green cards either) couple have 4 children born in US and parents have SSNs because both spouses had temporary work authorizations during their stay in the US. How can the couple claim their child tax credit when they are not in the US any more? A US based income or permanent residency status (green card), the conditions that could have created a tax filing requirement (or at least a filing option) are not available. Is there anyway, we can still get the refundable portion of child tax credit for our four children even when we are in our own country, and outside of the US?
A: This is more of a question for a Certified Public Accountant than an Immigration attorney. Best wishes!
