My husbands children who live in Honduras but are supported by him on our taxes?

yes you should be able to claim them as dependents. But you will need to apply for ITIN numbers for them from the IRS

I'm sorry ladies. I have to disagree. I'm sorry.:sad:


http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc857.html

Topic 857 - Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) – Form W–7

If the ITIN is for a dependent, the documentation must prove that the dependent lives in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Japan, The Republic of Korea, and India.
