I can't remember my child's social anyway we can look it up

I need help with my child’s ssn 

I can't remember my child's social anyway we can look it up

@Babymomma1516 Did you read any of the other posts in this thread about this problem?   If you have  claimed your child as a dependent on a past tax return you can look at the old tax return to get the Social Security number.  If you cannot do that then you will have to contact Social Security yourself.

 

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

How do I find my son Social Security number

I can't remember my child's social anyway we can look it up

if the child was on your  2020 TurboTax return the SSN should transfer when doing 2021. I believe that an IRS transcript of your 2020 return will only show the last 4 digits. if you call them and get through they will not release the child's SSN. if you didn't use TurboTax but filed a return, it may be on it but in some cases, only the last 4 digits show.  if the child was born in 2021 only the Social Security Adm will be able to supply you with the number and that will require contacting a local office for an in-person visit. they will require documentation such as a birth certificate

Did you use Online TurboTax for a past return and was the child listed on it?  If so, we can tell you how to download/print a prior return.   If it's not in that account you're using now, you may have more than one Online account, and we can tell you how to look for other accounts.

 

You (or the other parent, if applicable) may also have other documents that have the child's SSN, such as health insurance applications/certificates, medical records, school applications/records, other government program applications/documents, etc.

@Rachelcol If you cannot find your child's SSN on a past tax return, school document or record, etc., then you need to seek it from Social Security:

@Lizzy337 You posted to a thread that is about finding children's Social Security numbers.   But all you say is, "no not at all."

 

Do you have a question?   Are you trying to find your child's Social Security number?  Did you take some time to read the other posts in this thread?

I previously filed taxes claiming my daughter as a dependent, however I've lost her social security number Can you please help me look it up

@TSchuler77  No one else has access to your tax returns.   You might have to start a new 2022 return and enter your personal information to get the side menu to open up and let you see your past returns.  

 

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Hello i just got custody of my son a mont ago and i’ve been trying to get his social security card from my mom but she wont give me the number any way we can look it up

I can't remember my child's social anyway we can look it up

@Bferguson23 If you have claimed your son as a dependent on a past tax return you can find his SSN on the Form 1040.  If you have not claimed him before, then, you will need to seek help from the Social Security office.
