Can a dependent that is 16 years old e-file their tax return if they have no AGI to list being this is the first time they have filed a tax return? Will they reject the return due to no AGI so they won't be able to confirm his idenity.

    They would enter a 0 (zero) for the 2023 AGI since there was not a 2023 tax return filed.

      Yes, the dependent can e-file. 

       

      Just remember to indicate in the My Info section of TurboTax that he can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.

       

      As this is the first time that he files a tax return, he can put $0 as his previous year's AGI.

        Would he have to have a ID.PIN # from the IRS to e-file if you have no AGI being this is the first time he ever filed?

        No.  In the AGI section, he will just enter $0 for last years AGI.  If you get an ID PIN, he will need to use it forever.
