Hi, my form keep rejected, due to error IND 996. My husband and I filed jointly, and applied the IP PIN as instructed. Input in the turbox tax software, and still rejected. Do I need to apply IP PIN for all my dependents in order for the form to go thru? I got two kids and two parents as my dependents and I tried to apply IP PIN for my kid, the id.me said meet the age requirements. In this case, what should I do?

The IRS does not automatically assign an IP PIN number to the dependents. Unless you have already applied for an IP PIN for your dependents, the IRS will not reject your return for a missing dependent IP PIN. 

Some General Information

There is two different types of PIN numbers. The IRS issued IP PIN (Identity-Theft Protection PIN number) which is 6 Digit PIN issued every year by the IRS in order for you to file electronically, and the Signature PIN number. The signature PIN number is a 5-Digit number used as a signature. 

If your Tax Return was rejected due to an IP PIN, you should have received a letter from the IRS with the 6 digits Number, or you can create an account on the IRS website to retrieve it.
