Webster: For the purpose of CTC/ODC, IRS says "due date (including extensions)":
Note: If you don’t have a TIN by the due date of your return (including extensions), you may not claim the CTC/ACTC on either your original or an amended return. However, if you apply for an ITIN on or before the due date of your return (including extensions) and the IRS issues you an ITIN as a result of the application, the IRS will consider your ITIN as issued on or before the due date of your return. Also, you may not claim the credit on either your original or an amended return for a child who doesn't have an SSN by the due date of your return (including extensions), even if that child later gets an SSN.
So no matter it is an automatic extension or the deadline move, it doesn't matter, does it? i.e. if I filed the ITIN application with tax return on or before 7/15/2020, I should be fine?
I remember that the ITIN has be obtained before the original due date not including extension. I remembered it wrong or the rule has been changed?
