My son was issued a new SSN for safety reasons. He was adopted prior to 2023 but just got a new SSN. I don't know how to fix it in turbo tax?

As xmasbaby0 mentioned, you can change his name and social security number.

Here's how you can correct them:

Sign in to your Turbo Tax account.
Navigate to and select the 'Personal Info' tab.
Click 'Edit' next to his name and change his name and Social Security Number on the next screen.
