TurboTax does not provide services for filing tax returns for you. You have to transmit the submission on your end. We do not apply for an ITIN for our customers either, unfortunately.
TurboTax works like an interview—we ask you easy–to–answer questions about your life that affect your tax situation (i.e., Are you married? Do you have kids?) and fill in all the right tax forms behind the scenes. Your answers tell us which deductions and credits to look for, and what to ask next.
Results: You'll be coached along the way as you do your taxes and get the help you need when you need it. Meanwhile, we'll find every deduction and credit that applies to you. We make sure you'll keep every hard-earned dollar you deserve. Click here to see our guarantees. However, we are not tax preparer companies like some of the other companies. We do not sign your return but we professionals ( EAs, CPAs, and JDs) do offer you excellent professional advice to provide you with the help you need through the process.
Please continue to read about filing with the ITIN:
Without an SSN or ITIN, you won't be able to e-file either. You would need to submit your taxes and apply for ITIN simultaneously with TurboTax program:
-In the program, as you enter the information, leave the SSN space blank
-After entering all your information, print out returns and required forms ( write APPLIED in the SSN space)
-As TurboTax does not support the Form W-7, fill out the forms by following
https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/General-ITIN-Information and attach to other required documentation
-Submit everything including your tax forms to IRS Austin location in Texas. ( Form W-7 instructions)
Please note that, for some tax benefits, for example, the Earned Income Credit EIN or the Child Tax Credit, they must have an SSN in order for you to claim. You would need to amend your return later after you got the SSN for your kids.
