Even a 3-year-old kid needs to create ID.me account to get IP pin?

Level 15

No, you must be 18 years or older to create an ID.ME account. See Q4

If the IRS issued you an IP PIN and you lost it or you didn't receive a new one in the mail, you'll need to obtain your IP PIN before you can e-file your return. You may use our Get an IP PIN online tool to retrieve your current IP PIN. If you don’t already have an account on IRS.gov, you will be asked to register for an account and validate your identity.

If you previously created an account, access Get an IP PIN and login to your account. You may be required to verify your identity again due to their increased account security.

If you're unable to retrieve your IP PIN online:

You may call them at 800-908-4490 for specialized assistance, Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. your local time (Alaska & Hawaii follow Pacific Time), to have your IP PIN reissued to you. An assistor will verify your identity and mail your IP PIN to your address of record within 21 days.

If you are unable to retrieve the PIN you will need to file by mail. Or you can e-file without the dependent and then file an amendment later to add the dependent.
