I think that getting a pin # for your dependent is a good idea. Just be absolutely sure not to lose it, as it will be required to e-file future returns!! So many people are posting that their e-filed TurboTax return is rejected, and I suspect a lost pin # is a reason. Keeping the previous year tax file on your hard drive and importing it into the current year makes it much easier, because that imports the pin # and the previous year Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) and other information into the current TurtoTax return and it goes much more smoothly.
