Filing an Tax Return as a Dependent

xl541 — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:43:50 GMT

I was required to file an tax return because I received an 1099B. The problem is that my parents already claimed me as an dependent on their tax return and provided my SSN. Turbo-Tax said that I have to go to the IR website in order to get an IPP but the IRS website said I can't sign up for an IPP through my online account. How am I supposed to file my return?

Go to MY INFO and click your name. Go through the screens to the question that asks if you can be claimed as someone else's dependent. Say YES to that. Then try to re-file.

If your parents are claiming you on their tax return, when completing your taxes, make sure that you state that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. ‌ Refer to the TurboTax article: How do I indicate that I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return? for navigation instructions.

The IP PIN is a 6-digit number that the IRS provides to taxpayers to validate their identity. Refer to the following TurboTax Help articles What's an IP PIN? Do I need one? and How do I get my 6-digit IP PIN? for instructions to get your IP PIN.
