turboTax should not allow EIC if you have not entered a Social Security number. No one on this forum can see your tax file to understand what is going on. Possibly there is a program error, or possibly something strange has happened in your tax file.
Since you have to print the tax return and mail it to the IRS along with the form W-7, keep a copy and take the time to review the form carefully and pay close attention to what it says about the dependents on the front page. If you list the dependent with no Social Security number, the box for the $2000 child tax credit should also not be checked.
If I were you, I would not mail the return until I had a better understanding of what’s going on. This might require calling TurboTax customer support so they can do a screen share with your account. However, if you do mail a tax return which incorrectly claims EIC, the IRS should automatically remove it.
