Child credit was denied due to non-availability of ITIN while filing the income tax. The ITIN is now issued by IRS. How to apply for a child credit refund?

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

The ITIN has to be issued before the due date of the tax return for you to receive the Child Tax Credit in 2023.  You can amend the 2023 tax return to add the child as a dependent but they would only be eligible for the Other Dependent Credit of $500.
