Deductions & credits

Hello,

I have a similar situation, I am a citizen, I have a dependent without a SSN, I will apply for the ITIN, I will send my W7 along with my tax return. Turbo tax does allow me to print my return without writing a SSN in the SSN box for my dependent, however, turbo tax automatically gives me the EIC, I know I don't qualify because my dependent doesn't have a SSN, it doesn't give me the option to change the EIC credit or select the credit for other dependent, should I send it like that and the IRS will automatically correct the credit, that is, reduce the amount I receive?

Thanks!
