When I start TurboTax for this year, it shows last year info, that isn't correct for kids, I edit it on correct, but TurboTax don't calc CTC due to "incorrect SSN/ITIN".

May I claim the child tax credit for a child who has an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) rather than a social security number (SSN)?

No, You may not claim the child tax credit for a child with an ITIN. The child must have an SSN to be a qualifying child eligible for the child tax credit (CTC) or the additional child tax credit (ACTC).

First what i did, i edited ITIN info, after TurboTax specialist tried fix problem and couldn't. Therefore such obvious advices don't work.
