I have the same problem right now. I applied for an ITIN back in March 2022. I was claimed as a dependent by my parents and I sent the W-7, passport, tax return and the IRS recently sent a letter saying my application was rejected because
" you didn't include a tax return..."
"you weren't listed on a tax return....
"you were listed as a dependent on an attached tax return but were not claimed for any allowable tax benefit"
As I reviewed the documents, I noticed that the tax does not have the box checked for credit for other dependents. Turbo tax did not check those boxes, therefore i believe that is the issue with my itin application.
I spoke to the IRS and they said that "they did not receive the tax return". I called a second time and they said that proof of address was needed. I sent a school transcript but apparently was not sufficient.
I would like to know if you were able to resolve the issue and how were you able to resolve it.
Thanks.
