Patrick Michael Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Last year preparer took the child tax credit for two relatives (niece and nephew) who the client supported and that lived in Mexico the whole year. Niece and nephew are not US citizens, US Naturals or resident aliens. From what I can find there are no exceptions to the citizenship rule. Last year's preparers is located in a border town and does a lot more of these type of returns than I do and I am wondering if they know something I don't? Thanks. Quote
Pacun Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 They do that all the time here in the DC area but it is illegal. They can claim the dependency exemption but not the $1000 CTC Quote
