I want to file tax return and need to get ITIN for my child). I've followed the instructions from the turbotax community and I noticed there is a $2000 credit for CTC applied in the form 1040 when I tried to print it ( Using TurboTax Desktop). To my knowledge, the ITIN holder is not eligible for that. The most credit for dependents with ITIN is around $500. What should i do to proceed with the Tax return with W7 for the ITIN application for my kid.

In the TT interview ... return to the MY INFO tab and enter 999-88-9999 for the child's SS# then print the return to be mailed attached to the W-7 form. White out the fake SS# and enter applied for ... the IRS will apply the new ITIN when they process the return.
