- "A<> According to the IRS, if you wish to claim a child over age 1 as a
- "A<> dependent for tax purposes, that child *must* have a SSN.
-
- "A<> True, the kid doesn't need a SSN for hirself, but the
- "A<> parent(s)/guardian(s) might need the kid to have a SSN.....
-
- And if the parents are US Citizens abroad, as in Canada, and the children are
- born in Canada and are considered Canadian by Canada (and are NOT registered
- at the US Consulate, so they will not be in any draft list) but are still
- dependents of their US Citizen parents [and, BTW, are considered US
- citizens by US Immigration (I know... I have two sons in that situation.)]???
-
- Is a SSN still needed to claim them on the tax return???
-
- And if the hospital is in Canada, and NOT in the US... etc.... etc.... etc...
-
- I fail to see how any other jurisdiction can permit this lunacy to prevail
- over its own laws, or in contradiction to its laws.. (for example European
- privacy legislation might make transmission of this information to the US
- highly illegal). What is the US government's position in respect of non-US
- residents who are deductable on their US Citizen parents tax returns?
- Convoluted, or not, you should understand my concern.
