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

  • If you have a copy of a prior year tax return that included your child, it will have the child's Social Security number.
  • Medical/school records may have the Social Security number.
  • Contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or go online to ask for a Social Security Card replacement card.

You may be able to find your child's SSN from a copy of past year tax returns, school records, medical records, their SSN card.  If you do not have any of these records you can get a copy of your tax returns from TurboTax.

 

Follow these steps to get a copy of your TurboTax return.

  1. Sign in at TurboTax.com.
  2. Go to Tax Home and scroll to down and select Your tax returns & documents. Here, you'll see the years of taxes you've filed with TurboTax. ...
  3. Select 2018 and choose Download/print return (PDF) to get a copy.

If you do not have your username or password, you can go to TurboTax.com and click on the Forgot user ID or password link below the sign in area. If that does not work, click on this TurboTax Article for other options to recover your username or password.

If the past returns were prepared in Online TurboTax, but you can't find evidence of them in your current account when you look in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", then you likely have multiple accounts.   Many people end up with multiple accounts without realizing it.   Here's how to troubleshoot for multiple accounts (User IDs) :

 

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

 

To get a list of your User IDs and recover account access, you can use the Account Recovery tool at the link below.  Try using your phone number first.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If still no luck after running that on your phone number and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, and choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

If you claimed the child as a dependent on last year’s tax return through TurboTax, the number will be retained.  Perhaps you have logged into a different account?

 

This TurboTax account recovery website will provide a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used.  Please also see here.

 

You may also be able to find your child's Social Security number by the following methods. 

  • If you have a copy of a prior year tax return that included your child, it will have the child's Social Security number.
  • Medical/school records may have the Social Security number.
