Question

Why do I need a SSN or TIN for my child who isn't American in order to fill her in as my dependent? Should I remove her as my dependent?

I am also not American, but have a SSN from previous employment in the U.S., I am filing as a foreign non resident this year as I have not lived in the U.S. in 2020

You should be filing a Form 1040NR if you are a nonresident alien.  TurboTax does not support a Form 1040NR

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the Form 1040NR - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forms/help/does-turbotax-handle-form-1040nr-for-nonresident-aliens/00/26295
