Can immigrant workers get the CTC?
The rules for immigrant workers to claim the CTC are not as restrictive as for the EIC. Workers and their qualifying children must be either U.S. citizens or resident aliens living in the U.S. and have either a valid Social Security number (including a non-work SSN) or an ITIN. Remember! Immigrant workers children must have lived with them in the U.S. for more than six months of the year to be considered qualifying children for the EIC or for the CTC. Also, the workers main home must be in the U.S.
