My Son needs an ITIN. We are in the US on a E2 visa. Can we apply for a ITIN with a COPY of our last tax return? as we have already submitted this years.

We are in the US on a E2 visa and my son is not eligible for a SSN. Now he has no medical insurance as he cant be insured without a ITIN. we have already submitted out taxes, so are we able to apply for a ITIN with a copy of our completed tax return?

Fill out a W-7 form for him ( it is available at www.irs.gov), provide all the documents needed and mail in to the IRS.  They might want to visit  a local IRS office if they need more proof.  Good Luck

I am assuming that the child is on a dependent visa.

Yes he’s a dependent on an E2 visa. Will we need a printed copy of the tax return along with the other supporting/identifying documents?

I do not believe you need to send a copy of your return unless you were penalized for not having health insurance for him  ( on your return because he is your dependent). Just follow the instructions on form W-7-->
here are the instructions for form W-7 ---  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw7.pdf">https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw7.pdf</a>
