Turbo Tax keeps changing my son's social security number on his W2s to mine. Who can I talk to about this?

Make sure that you are filing your son's separate return.  Go to Personal Info and verify that he is the taxpayer and the social security number is correct.

Ohhh...hope you aren't using your own "Online" tax file to prepare his.....that could be why.

His  W-2 and file would require an entirely separate Online account...different email and new UserID/Pwd.

Putting his W-2 data on your file isn't how you enter his income.

If they are under 19 or under 24 and a full time student you can still claim them.   

You don't include their income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. To file a separate return for your dependent you need to set up a new account. Online is only good for one return per account. They can probably use the Free Edition.

Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else’s return. If their only income is W2 and under 15,750 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out.  If they got a 1099NEC or paid cash they have to file it as self employment no matter how small.

for his return you cannot use your account. online= one taxpayer's return per a/c. you need to set up an account for him. unique user ID though e-mail and phone number can be yours
