Your parents can still claim you as a dependent. To be able to electronically file their return, they must include an IP PIN for you. Per the IRS, if you are under 18 or cannot setup an ID.me account you can submit Form 15227, Application for an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number online. The phone number provided on the form will be used to contact you to verify your identity before an IP PIN can be issued.
Once you get it, see the steps below for them to enter it on their return:
- Open your return
- Go to IP PIN
- On the Identity Protection PIN screen, answer Yes. Select Add and enter your IP PIN in the space provided.
- Select Continue, then select Done.
