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

@Bferguson23 And you did not ask about this....but if your child has been living with a grandparent for most of 2022 ( "i just got custody of my son a mont ago..")    then you are not going to be able to claim your child as a dependent on a 2022 tax return.   The person who has had custody and who provided support for the child during 2022 is the one who can claim the child as a dependent on a 2022 tax return.  

 

 

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

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

I went online and it only shows the last 4 digits on the virtual tax record, on my old w2, is there a way to view the whole thing?

@Pahpa A transcript will not show the whole SSN.  If you claimed your child on a past return filed using TurboTax you can get it from the old return.

 

  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.

 

Start a 2022 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

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

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

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

If you filed your tax return with TurboTax in previous years, you may be able to find the Social Security number listed on page 1 of a Federal 1040 tax return.  Follow these steps.

 

  • Log in to the TurboTax account where you prepared the tax return.
  • Select Tax Home page, 
  • scroll down the screen to Your tax returns & documents

There is no way to look up someone else's social security number. She would have to provide that information to you.

If you have claimed your child on a past tax return you can find the SSN on a tax return.

An alternative (may be slower, but you may be able to do it online), is to get a Transcript of your prior year tax return.

 

Go to this IRS webpage, Get-Transcript.

 

Ask for the Record of Account Transcript. I can't guarantee your kids' SS numbers will be on it (the samples on the Internet that I can see have been sanitized, so SS numbers have been zero'd out), but if you can get it online, it will be quick.
