Can you claim a child that you support living in a different country on your tax report?

If someone qualifies as your dependent while in the USA, they still qualify while oversees. If your child is studying abroad, or visiting another country, you may claim them as a dependent. However, you can not claim someone that would not be your dependent here. Sponsoring an orphan in Africa, for example would not apply. In order to qualify as a dependent on tax return, they must have their own Social Security number.

I would think yes, but call the irs and ask (or call a tax preparer like H&R Block)

To be claimed as a qualifying child, the child must live with you for over half the year.

To be claimed as a qualifying relative, not a qualifying child, the child must either be a US citizen, US resident alien, US national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico for some part of the year


travelguruette
If they are citizens of the US and living in Mexico or Canada yes if they meet all the other qualifications.

I don't believe you can. I believe the child has to be living with you in order to be claimed on your taxes. But I am not positive on this. You might want to ask someone at H&R Block or look it up online.

You can only claim a child if you have full physical custody.
I was hoping my boyfriend could claim his child because the large amount he pays in child support. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

"Maintenance/alimony is ordinary income to the recipient. See Section 71 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The payor may deduct maintenance from income under §215. The maintenance deduction is "above the line". What this means is that maintenance is deductible even if the payor does not itemize deductions.

Child support, on the other hand, is not deductible by the payor. "

In theory, yes. But in practice this would be hard to do.

You need documentary proof of everything. And if the documents are from another country. Then you have to get a notarized translation of each and every document. And you have to get each document certified by the US embassy in that foreign country.
