I have a dependent that changes name/ssn in Jan 2024... as I'm filing TY 2023 in April '24, which name/ssn should I use 2023 or current?

TIA!

The change should have been updated by the Social Security Administration for the IRS by now so I suggest you use the updated (current) name and Social Security number.

Use the name that matches their current Social Security card.

Thanks!

Will it cause an issue for the taxman if all the interest, education, etc. forms for the dependent will be in the old name/ssn?

FYI - all the bank, education, etc. 1098/99's for the dependent are all in the old names/ssn.
