This is my first time filing. I filed my tax return by mail to Apply for ITIN number for my child and claimed him as dependent on my tax return. But recently i found out that if he does not have ssn he will not be eligible for child tax credit. Since it was already sent by mail what will irs reaction to that be? Will they reject my filing? Will I be fined in some kind of way? Or will they do the math and give me credit for other dependents? I am so afraid as what to do. Please help.
