No, 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).

First what i did, i edited ITIN info, after TurboTax specialist tried fix problem and couldn't. Therefore such obvious advices don't work.

second suggestion is absolutely right according to IRS site. Strange, I had so many talks with CPAs, IRS clerks (about lost W7, late ITINs and CTC), and nobody mentioned that rule, that <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://apps.irs.gov/app/IPAR">https://apps.irs.gov/app/IPAR</a> and <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/4491_child_tax_credit.pdf">https://apps.irs.gov/ap...> explain clearly. Thank you very much for the help.
