Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Can you please clarify what you mean by "text ID number".

 

To claim your parents as dependents, they must have either a Social Security number (SSN) or an Individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN).

 

You cannot file as Head of Household if you cannot claim a dependent.
