Please stop posting either misinformation or at the minimum, woefully lacking information.
The link that keeps getting posted again and again is ONLY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL taxpayer IP pin, NOT how to get a DEPENDENT PIN... I am capitalizing because there is a big difference here that, frustratingly, keeps getting overlooked every time someone asks this question.
The linked page also does NOT have information on how to get an IP PIN for a dependent. If it is the correct place to go, please follow up with specific directions for how to do the process for your dependent and not yourself.
As stated on the IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin
If you want to request an IP PIN, please note:
- You must pass a rigorous identity verification process.
- Spouses and dependents are eligible for an IP PIN if they can pass the identity verification process.
