How do I obtain an IP Pin for my minor/dependent?

I have one, but we need one for her as well due to her father using her as a dependent and committing tax fraud.

      Even for a minor, I think you can get it online via www.irs.gov/ippin.

      So if my child is on my taxes then there's no need for her to have a pin right?

      No, that is not correct.  If your child has an IP PIN, you will need to include it on your tax return.   If your child has been a victim of ID theft then they would need the IP PIN.  You would enter their PIN by selecting Federal>>Other Tax Situations>>Identity Protection PIN then walk through the steps to enter their PIN.

       

      If your child has not been a victim of ID theft, and does not have an IP PIN, then no, you would not need to get one to enter on your return.
