ITIN for dependent child

I haven't applied yet for the ITIN for my dependent children. Is it possible to apply for ITIN while submitting your taxes or some other way to claim a dependent children credit without an ITIN?

 

Thanks,

Pawel

You have to apply for an ITIN for your child.

 

Please read this TurboTax Help topic on How to file your tax return with a W-7.

 

You cannot e-file. You have to file by mail or in person.
