I want to file tax return and need to get ITIN for my child). I've followed the instructions from the turbotax community and  I noticed there is a $2000 credit for CTC applied in the form 1040 when I tried to print it ( Using TurboTax Desktop). To my knowledge, the ITIN holder is not eligible for that. The most credit for dependents with ITIN is around $500. What should i do to proceed with the Tax return with W7 for the ITIN application for my kid.

In the TT interview ... return to the MY INFO tab and enter 999-88-9999 for the child's SS# then print the return to be mailed attached to the W-7 form. White out the fake SS# and enter applied for ... the IRS will apply the new ITIN when they process the return.

If i di this. There is still the $2000 deducted for the CTC which I would not supposed to get for the ITIN holder. And I will get more refund as I supposed to get. Please help.

If the SS# starts with a 9 the CTC should not be calculated ... delete the child, close the program, reboot your computer then try entering the child again ... continue thru the REVIEW tab and check again.
