I’m a nonresident parent filing taxes in the U.S., and I want to claim my child as a dependent. My child doesn’t have an ITIN. Do I need to file a tax return to apply for their ITIN and claim tax credits?

Yes, you must file a tax return and attach your child’s W-7 Form (ITIN application) to it when claiming dependents on taxes. Include supporting documents proving your child’s dependency, identity, and foreign status.
