    Whether you can deduct, on your US federal income tax return, mortgage payments on foreign property is a good question. I suggest you review the URS bulletins on the subject which are available online. Are the properties your principal residence, or are they rental properties of yours? If not, it is doubtful that you would be able to deduct them in any event.

    I don't believe you can claim your children as dependents. I believe they would have to spend at least half of the year with you in order for you to do so.
