Can a child that lives out of the country be claimed for child tax credit? I have a child that lives in peru?

Question

My husband sends 400.00 per month for his dtr in Peru

Answer 1

yes he can, all you need to do is get him a TIN with his birth certificate (does not have to be american citizen) and provide proof that you and your husband support him.

Answer 2

if he is recognized and documented as your child yes, I think he might need to have a US passport or proof of citizenship
