Yes----child #2 is the prime suspect. It is also possible that someone else typed in a wrong SSN on a return and that resulted in the duplicate use of the child's SSN. If your child did not file a tax return then there is nothing to amend. You just need to file your own return claiming the child by mail, or get an IP PIN.
