Please clarify your question.

 

  • Are you posting this in the My Info section of your return?
  • Is it a 9 digit number?
  • How is it being identified as a ITIN and not a SSN?

Please contact us again to provide some additional details.

Did you put a checkmark in the box that says Social Security number NOT valid for employment?  If you did put a check mark in that box, and their numbers are valid for employment, you can go back and remove the checkmark.  You can do this by selecting edit in the personal info section next to their name. 

 

If so, then the dependents would be not be eligible for the Child Tax Credit, just the Other Dependent Credit.
