ILLMAS Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 A client of mine, today recommend a friend of his, that wants to claim her 10yr daughter as a dependent that lives in the Philippines. He was telling me that they went to the IRS office and the agent told them it was possibly, they just had to fill out the right form and provide the supporting documents. I don't know if this is true, from what I remember the W-7 was for dependents in Canada and Mexico, but if someone knows what form, can you please let me know. Thanks MAS Quote
Lucho Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 So far Im possitive that it only applies to dependents living in Mexico and Canada. The only way to claim the dependency with ITIN would be if the 10 year daughter lived in the US for more than 6 monts (something that would need to be proved with school records etc. Hope some others will guide you and me if I am wrong Lucho Quote
Pacun Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 No ITIN for dependents in any other country than Mexico, US, Canada. Quote
ILLMAS Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 As I suspected, well I will see what the client brings me tomorrow, but I did a google search and found this, it seems the IRS is so great other countries want to copy it: http://www.bir.gov.ph/about/about.htm Quote
