1- I'm a non resident alien with J2 visa. I came from Chile (Southamerica).I'm having a child that will be born in USA. I want to know if I can claim a tax exemption for my son.
Thanks a lot

You CANNOT claim your son as a dependent.
However, by filing Form 8901 with Form 1040NR, you CAN claim the Child Tax Credit for your son.
