    Non resident alien
    Hi,

    I am a G4 dependent visa holder with my husband being the principal G4 visa holder. I filed my taxes as married filing separately because my husband is exempt from taxes. In 2015, I contributed $5,000 to flexi spending account for Dependent care benefits for my 2 kids who also are non resident aliens, which are indicated in box 10 of my W-2 form.
    My question is do I qualify to claim exemptions for my 2 kids? I did complete form 2441 and w7 form to obtain the ITIN but the application for ITIN was rejected because I did not complete their names in Line 7 c of my 1040NR form.

    You MUST file as a non-resident alien (Form 1040NR) due to your G-4 status. This means you CANNOT claim your children as dependents UNLESS your home country is Canada or Mexico.

    Sorry!
