How do I obtain an IP Pin for my minor/dependent?

[DianeW777]

You must follow the process outlined on the IRS page Get an Identity Protection (IP PIN) PIN. Your children must be verified.

• IRS FAQs for IP PIN
• Create an ID.me Account (The IRS may be moving away from this process in 2022.)
• IRS Verification Involving Facial Recognition (Update)

For additional help you may call us at 800-908-4490 for specialized assistance, Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. your local time (Alaska & Hawaii follow Pacific Time).  They will be able to explain what you need to do for your children to provide verification or refer you to the appropriate next step.

@Ladora40 

you have to submit the Form three times, once for each child.

Did you figure out how to set up an IP PIN for your child/minor. I can't seem to figure it out. I followed the link but it set one up for me not my child. Or is that the number I use for my child? I'm confused!!!

I am requesting an IP Pin for my youngest son, who lives with me 12 months of the year all of his life. But his father has his ss# now due to insurance.

A PIN is not required to file your current year tax return. If you file your return and it gets rejected, then you can mail the return with any documentation showing your son lives with your.

Documents can include such things as school records or medical records that show your address as his address.

To verify your identity for e-filing will use last year's adjusted gross income (AGI) as your PIN.  You can get a copy of your 2021 tax return, from TurboTax it will have your AGI.  Follow these steps to get a copy of your prior-year tax return if you filed with TurboTax.

Sign in to TurboTax making sure you're using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as in prior years.

This link How do I find last year's AGI? has additional information that you may find useful.

If you did not file with TurboTax you can request and IRS Transcript. To obtain is an IRS Transcript, click the link to get started.
