Great thank you for this.
From Turbotax's email, I thought it is possible to file without a dependent's SSN if you do it by mail or perhaps--in the case of last year's return--using different software.
I don't know what software the tax preparer used last year that allowed the return to be accepted with a passport number instead of a SSN, but will the IRS reject any return without a SSN?
I ask b/c it's surprisingly hard to get a SSN in our situation, and who knows what will happen with the pandemic, so I might not otherwise have a SSN for our daughter by the time I file 2020 taxes. This is the only reason to need it.
