I applied for ITIN because of credit for other dependent (OTC) for my daughter, but for no ITIN number, the 1040 didn't show quality for OTC. the ITIN was rejected(the reason is no allowable benefit). NOW I do not kow How to send 1040 form again with w7 to apply ITIN. if I send a copy, it will be rejected again. If I send a new one with quality for OTC, I will have duplicate original form. Do you know how to do?

I don't understand. You filed a W-7 for a dependent without attaching it to a tax return? (You didn't notice that was against the rules in the W-7 instructions?). Did you already file a 2020 tax return? Did you list your child on your tax return or not?

Thanks for your reply, I filed 2020 tax return, and married jointly, my daughter as dependent. For ITIN application, I filed with W-7 and passport of my daighter.

Did you file the W-7 separately, or attached to your tax return?

How did you claim your daughter as a dependent on your tax return if you did not have an ITIN or SSN?

Has your tax refund been paid? Was it the amount you expected? Did you receive the $500 credit for "other dependent?"

I have the same problem right now. I applied for an ITIN back in March 2022. I was claimed as a dependent by my parents and I sent the W-7, passport, tax return and the IRS recently sent a letter saying my application was rejected because

" you didn't include a tax return..."

"you weren't listed on a tax return....

"you were listed as a dependent on an attached tax return but were not claimed for any allowable tax benefit"

As I reviewed the documents, I noticed that the tax does not have the box checked for credit for other dependents. Turbo tax did not check those boxes, therefore i believe that is the issue with my itin application.

I spoke to the IRS and they said that "they did not receive the tax return". I called a second time and they said that proof of address was needed. I sent a school transcript but apparently was not sufficient.

I would like to know if you were able to resolve the issue and how were you able to resolve it.

Thanks.

@rosarioc25 so how did your parents claim you if you don't have an ITIN. If they claimed you, they could have applied for the ITIN with the W-7.....maybe that is the issue????

what do you mean "I have the same problem" - please explain the problem
