Sorry----in order to qualify for stimulus payments the child had to have a Social Security number. If your children had an ITIN then you do not get the stimulus amounts for them nor do you get the child tax credit. With an ITIN, they are only eligible for the $500 credit for other dependents and you needed to use that number at the time that you filed the tax return. The IRS does not let you amend to add a Social Security number or ITIN to get more credits.
