I didn't get child tax credit on my 2015 tax retutn. I applied for ITIN for my 2 year old on feb 2016 month and I got it on last week of May 2016.
I had sent the following documents
1. 1040A form with ITIN number mentioned in it
2. Schedule 8812
3. W2
But now I just got the amount excluding Child tax credit.

One change recent legislation makes is to prohibit retroactive claims of the Child Tax credit. It does this by preventing taxpayers from amending a return (or filing an original return) to claim the credit for any prior year in which the taxpayer or the qualifying child did not have an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). This means that taxpayers cannot file returns claiming the credit using an ITIN issued after the year for which the credit is being claimed. - See more at: http://www.thetaxadviser.com/newsletters/2016/jan/congress-makes-changes-to-popular-tax-credits.html...
