Here are some additional step that you will need to take related to filing for ITIN for your children. You will not be able to efile your returns.

Please note you will not qualify for the Earned Income Credit (EIC) without a valid Social Security number (not an ITIN) for yourself, your spouse (if filing jointly), and any qualifying children.

For your federal filing -

leave your children's SSN blank, use a holder SSN (such as 99-11-9999) on the health insurance worksheet to get through the health insurance section and print a paper copy of your tax return
skip the error check section as long as your only error is missing SSNs
mail in your return (you will not be able to efile your tax return so choose "file by mail" in TurboTax)
apply for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) using Form W-7 (Click ITIN)
attach a copy of your Form W-7 (along with the necessary supporting documents) to your tax return (For the supporting documents, one option is to get a certified copy of your children's passport which will need to be included with your tax return filing) Click here for IRS website ITIN - Frequently Asked Questions
mail your tax return along with your Form W-7 and supporting documents to the IRS. According to the IRS, because you are filing your tax return as an attachment to your (ITIN) application, you should not mail your return to the address listed in the Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ instructions. Instead, send your return, Form W-7 and proof of identity and foreign status documents to:

     Internal Revenue Service
     Austin Service Center
     ITIN Operation
     P.O. Box 149342
     Austin, TX 78714-9342

You may also apply using the services of an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent or visit some key IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in lieu of mailing your information to the IRS in Austin.
