@life521 - You are not eligible for the Child Tax Credit when the dependent has an ITIN. You are eligible for the $500 Credit of Other Dependent. If your son did not live with you for over 6 months during the year you will not be able to claim him on your return as a dependent. He must be a dependent on the return to apply for an ITIN

 

@PY-Lai - You should not use White-Out on tax documents. You should print out the corrected form to mail in.
