What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Missouri
My wife and I were married last December. I am a United States citizen by
birth and my wife is a permanent-resident-alien from Thailand.
She has two sons, one 14 and one 17, from a previous marriage. The boys
live with their grandmother (my wife's mother) in Thailand. We provided 100%
support for the three of them.
My question is, can we claim them as dependants?
If not, is there anyway to claim the money we send them as a deduction?
Thanks for any help.
