    Can we claim Child Care Expenses for child with ITIN?
    We are on L1 visa, married and filing jointly. We would like to know if we can claim child care expenses ( day care) for our child who qualifies for a dependent child but does not have an SSN. We have been told that if the child has an ITIN we can only claim for the child care credit ( i.e 1000$) and not the child care expenses ( i.e nannies, day care etc).


    Can someone confirm this?

    You CAN claim the Child Care Credit IF your wife is working or attending schooling or training, and I hope you did so.

    If not, amend your return now that you have the ITIN.
