If you're claiming a California dependent exemption credit for a dependent who does not have a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), you may be able to use Form 3568, Alternative Identifying Information for the Dependent Exemption Credit. This form allows eligible taxpayers to provide alternative identifying information for qualifying dependents.
When should I use Form 3568?
Use Form 3568 if you are claiming a California dependent exemption credit for a dependent who is ineligible for both an SSN and a federal ITIN. California allows taxpayers to provide alternative identifying information to support their dependent exemption credit claim.
