Unfortunately, you may not claim the child tax credit for a child with an ITIN. The child must have an SSN to be a qualifying child eligible for the child tax credit (CTC) or the additional child tax credit (ACTC).
Thanks for the quick answer. So if my son applys and gets a SSN, he could be eligible for CTC?
Yes, if he receives a Social Security number he would qualify for Child Tax Credit.
Once he turns 17, as long as you can claim him as a dependent the credit reduces to $500.
