I am Nepalese citizen and I have a son born in 2009 here in United States in March, 2009 in F1 visa status. Do I qualify for Child Tax Credit? My school suggests to fill 1040NR-EZ and the woman says there is no child credit tax this year for nonresident align dependents !. For getting dependent tax credit I need to fill 1040NR and the IRS website says that any dependent must be US citizen or resident (which he do qualify http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040nr.pdf ). But being a Nepalese citizen can I fill 1040NR form and get a child tax credit? Or this is only for Indian, S Korean, Japanese and Maxican? Any experience or legal advice is highly appreciated, Thank you in advance -

Congratulation for American son (trying to be sarcastic, but it is not funny right?)
If I were you, I will visit to nearby H&R Block office. March madness will be starting soon and they will be hungry to fill in their time card. Ask them if they do NR? If they do, they will give your result instantly and will be answered all your questions without paying a nickel. Do not hesitate to walk out of office, say, I will think of it. One Latino visited 4-5 near by H & R Block Tax office just to gather all information , what answer needed to be said yes and no so he can get the maximum refund. Last year I found couple web sites for NR tax services. By the way, did you participate on tax seminar launched by your school? Most school provides tax help and you would have got your answer too.I heard if you itemize ( NR case), will give more tax return ? So do not forget to ask what are the itemize deductions are? ( H and R may not have this answer for you) It is good to know all the options and get the most benefit.
You will get child tax-credit using 1040 NR.

I'm not a lawayer. you should be able claim the dependent exemption, even if your son was not born in the U.S.A. If you want reliable answer you can visit the nearest tx filing services such as H&R or jackson hewitt
