If you had your child as a dependent on a previous tax return, you can find their SS number there.

Otherwise, you need to Contact the Social Security Administration at www.ssa.gov.

Social Security numbers are confidential information, so they are not available online, except from some fee-based services that I don't think that I would trust.

Yes, if you claimed them as a dependent it should be on the 1040 return.

Can you log back into your account? If you can't find your return, First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used

To print from the Print Center
Log back in your TurboTax account and "add a state" to open the return back up (you are not really adding a state, just to open it back up), then
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.
Then click on Print Center.
Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return. Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

Sorry no one, not even Turbo Tax can send you any information. You have to look up your return yourself. Only you have access to your account and returns. Turbo Tax can't see your personal info.

You may be able to find it on a tax return if you claimed your child as a dependent. Otherwise you will need to contact Social Security for help and a new SS card for her.

We need to claim our grandchild on tax return from 2017. We are doing an amendment because we did not have her social security number. My daughter did file the year before and I would guess she had to have my granddaughter's S.S.# in order to file for the previous year. I am POA as my daughter is in jail and my granddaughter is social security card is way gone. What form can I have my daughter sign so we can retrieve my granddaughter's social security number from my daughter's tax return for previous year. I do know my daughter's social security number. But they tell me even though I'm POA she needs to sign "this form". Which form is it?

If you claimed the child on your 2018 tax return her SSN is on your Form 1040.

How do I get a copy of a return I prepared using desktop TurboTax?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900639

Note: Every year, before mid-October, print a copy of your current year tax return and save it as a tax file and pdf, too. That way you will have it when you need it for school, a loan, next year’s tax return, etc. without going through a lot of aggravation (and expense) to get it.

You may be able to find your child's social security number by the following methods.

If you have a copy of a past year tax return that included your child it will have the child's SSN
Find your child's SSA card for the SSN
Medical/school records may have the SSN
If steps 1 thru 3 do not provide you with your child's SSN then contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or go online to ask for a Social Security Card replacement card.
