If they have no SS# or ITIN  and you are not applying for either when filing the return   then you cannot claim the children  ... delete them in the MY INFO section.

If the children do not have Social Security numbers or ITIN's then you cannot claim them as dependents.  Another thing---you do not mention your own immigration status.  There is a chance you should not be using TurboTax, so you need to determine that before you proceed further with filing a tax return.

 

NON RESIDENT ALIEN 

If you are a non-resident alien, your return must be filed on Form 1040NR, which cannot be prepared using TurboTax.  You can use TT’s partner, sprintax:
