@gkg1 , I would follow the exact instructions of CP 567. Prepare the ITIN application W-7, attach all the documents requested in CP 567 and go to local IRS office for help and then follow their suggestions.
1. Take with you a copy of the 2023 return as suggested in CP 567. Take the originals of spouse's passport etc. Hopefully this can be resolved on your visit.
2. Do not amend your filed / processed return for 2023, leave it as is. IRS will already have changed/amended the return per their decision to not issue ITIN for the spouse.
3. Hold off filing your 2024 return till 2023 is resolved -- because you still do not have ITIN for the spouse. You have all the way till Oct 15th of 2025. However, you can indeed prepare your 2024 return assuming issuance of ITIN ( for TurboTax use a dummy ITIN) , so you know and are able to pay-in any taxes due.
4. Note that CP 567 issuance and the ITIN of the child generally implies that your spouse is eligible for a tax id ( TIN), its just a paperwork issue .
Good Luck.
Is there more I can do for you ?
