Hi,
I've applied for ITIN number for my kids (2) and mailed everything via mail together with my federal tax forms to Texas IRS Office.
6 months later or so I finally received their ITINs and roughly 2 months later I received "adjusted tax return" basically explaining that since I didn't have ITIN at the time I filled my taxes I can't claim my kids as dependends.
Is this correct? IRS is basically not allowing immigrants to get ITIN individually and we have to apply for it at the time we file taxes but ultimately those numbers can't be used for the current year?
