Hi,
I am a resident alien on a J1 while my wife and son are non resident aliens on a J2. My wife has a SSN while my son has an ITIN. They have lived with me the hole tax year. Can I claim child care benefits for my son?
Thanks for all your help in advance,
AS

You can claim child care benefits IF your wife is working or attending college.

Otherwise, no.
