Question

Hi. My kids and my wife were in Mexico and they just received their social security this year 2025 can I amend my tax and claim them in my previous tax (2021,2022,2023)

They are now in the US

If your children just received their SSN in 2025 (before April 15), then you can claim them on your 2024 tax return.

But you cannot amend your past years' returns to claim them, as your children must have valid SSN issued before the due date of each year's return,

Please see this IRS document for more information.
