Housing Credit Question

[shyam619]

Hello All,

My friend has a H1 B visa and SSN, while his wife is on H4 and does not have an SSN or ITIN yet. Even though they are filing IT returns jointly, would they be eligible for the Housing Credit refund of $8000?

I remember in 2007 many people who had dependent family members (using ITIN) could not get the economic stimulus. Would similar rules apply for housing credit too?

Thanks & Regards
