Or....are you really asking about using ID.me so that you can get the monthly child tax credit payments?
Every e-filed tax return has an MeF Submission ID (SID), even if you filed it yourself with TurboTax and did not use a paid preparer. To get your Submission ID you have to call TurboTax support.
