Question

In order to claim for dependents and education fees paid for my son, the system requires a SSN which we have never applied for. What should I do?

can I file without SSN for dependents?

You cannot claim a dependent unless they have a Social Security number or an ITIN. Why have you not applied?

Because I'm on a L1 Visa, my husband and daughter is on L2 visa's. My son is here on an international student visa. When I asked this question before, I was told my daughter and son was not eligible applying for SSN's. I can have them apply now, but it's just going to delay my filing of my tax return.
