"YOU" is referring to the dependent ...
1. You didn't include a completed and signed U.S. federal income tax return with your application. Did you not attach a tax return with the application?
2. You weren't listed on an attached U.S. federal income tax return, or If you DID attach the return was the child requiring the ITIN not listed on the return?
3. You were listed as a dependent on an attached U.S. federal income tax return but were not claimed for any allowable tax benefit. If the child was listed were they not claimed for any tax benefit?
READ the notice carefully ... there should be directions on what is needed to go forward...
If the error was #1 then send the return.
If the error was #2 or #3 then complete the return showing the dependent & dependent credits. In the TT program you should have entered 999-88-9999 for the ITIN in the program to add the child and the credit to the return. Then prior to mailing in the return the fake ITIN should have been blacked out and the words "applied for" entered instead.
