Hi,

 

I am a resident alien (green card holder) but my adult son lives in another country. He is a non resident alien.

Can I claim him as a dependent on my tax returns and if I can, would he be able to apply for an itin.

 

Thank you.

You cannot claim a non-resident alien as a dependent, unless the individual is a citizen of Mexico or Canada and meets the other dependent qualifications.
