Yesterday I ask Question about Tax credit/any deducation for my children (both are in India with my parents) but both are U.S Citizen. Please tell me what type of credit available to us.

I have nothing more to add to my previous answer, which assumes your children are US citizens.

If they are US citizens and have social security numbrers, you can probably claim them as qualifying relatives and get an exemption for them. If they didn't live with you for over half the year, you can't claim them as qualifying children, so can't get the child tax credit for them.

None. They must live in YOUR home for you to claim the dependency exemptions for them. Since they don't live in your home, you cannot claim them as dependents.
