If you had your child as a dependent on a previous tax return, you can find their SS number there.

Otherwise, you need to Contact the Social Security Administration at www.ssa.gov.

Social Security numbers are confidential information, so they are not available online, except from some fee-based services that I don't think that I would trust.

Do you have a previous tax return that shows the numbers?   School records, insurance applications, medical records, etc.?

Yes, if you claimed them as a dependent it should be on the 1040 return.

 

Can you log back into your account?  If you can't find your return,  First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used
https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery/

To print from the Print Center
Log back in your TurboTax account and "add a state" to open the return back up (you are not really adding a state, just to open it back up), then
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. 
Then click on Print Center. 
Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

If you have lost or misplaced the Social Security card for your child, you need to get a replacement card.

Go to this Social Security website for the procedure - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02723

Sorry no one, not even Turbo Tax can send you any information.  You have to look up your return yourself.  Only you have access to your account and returns.  Turbo Tax can't see your personal info.

You may be able to find it on a tax return if you claimed your child as a dependent.  Otherwise you will need to contact Social Security for help and a new SS card for her.

@wvmtgirl73 

You posted your name and SSN and your daughter's name in this public Internet forum for the TurboTax user community.  That's a no-no, since this is a public forum.   It looks like the forum filter caught it, however, and removed the SSN for your protection.  If so, you are lucky.

 

For your privacy and security, please do not enter any personal information in this public Internet forum.

 

You can also check any health records, insurance papers, etc. that might have your daughter's SSN.

We need to claim our grandchild on tax return from 2017. We are doing an amendment because we did not have her social security number. My daughter did file the year before and I would guess she had to have my granddaughter's S.S.#  in order to file for the previous year.  I am POA as my daughter is in jail and my granddaughter is social security card is way gone.  What form can I have my daughter sign so we can retrieve my granddaughter's social security number from my daughter's tax return for previous year.  I do know my daughter's social security number. But they tell me even though I'm POA she needs to sign "this form". Which form is it?

If you claimed the child on your 2018 tax return her SSN is on your Form 1040.

How do I get a copy of a return I prepared using desktop TurboTax?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900639

 

 

Note:  Every year, before mid-October, print a copy of your current year tax return and save it as a tax file and pdf, too.  That way you will have it when you need it for school, a loan, next year’s tax return, etc. without going through a lot of aggravation (and expense)  to get it.

You may be able to find your child's social security number by the following methods.

  1. If you have a copy of a past year tax return that included your child it will have the child's SSN
  2. Find your child's SSA card for the SSN
  3. Medical/school records may have the SSN
  4. If steps 1 thru 3 do not provide you with your child's SSN then contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or go online to ask for a Social Security Card replacement card.

Each of the children and you should have Social Security cards.

Look at your prior year tax return for the SS numbers.

Or go to the SS website to request a new cards for the children - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02723

 

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for accessing prior year online tax returns - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/270...

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
