Yes, you can still claim them. Since you did not apply for the ITIN in 2017, you can file your 2018 taxes and apply together this year. However, you cannot e-file. You must paper-file. You can also claim the Childcare credit if you meet all other requirements. See Dependent care credit.
This is how you enter the information in the program.
- In the program, leave the SSN space blank
- After completing the return, print out the forms. Write APPLIED in the dependents' SSN space.
- As TurboTax does not support the Form W-7, fill out the forms by following W-7 and attach other required documentation
- Submit all forms and documents to the IRS Austin location in Texas. (see Form W-7 instructions)
