I have an H1-B visa and can meet substantial presence test in 2002. My wife's visa is dependent on my visa and she is not allowed to work.
My quandary is my 19 yearold son, who is a college freshman.
I pay out of state tuition(ouch!), and as he lives with us and is fully supported by me, i would like to claim as a dependent.
The problem is that his visa is an F-1 student visa.
If I get a ITIN for him can I claim him as a dependent, I know this is not usally available on an F1 visa, but seems reasonable given the support & fees I pay out.
Home some tax lawyer can advise me.
