I DID, THIS IS WHAT THE IRS SAYS:

: As of January 1, 2016, if you claim one or more dependents that have an IP PIN, you must enter their IP PIN on the following e-File tax forms:

• Form 1040, Individual Income Tax Return, series
• Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses
• Schedule Earned Income Credit

Your e-File return will be rejected if you fail to enter a dependent’s IP PIN.

And your original question said you entered the IPPin on the dependent worksheet which should make it go where it needs to go.

:Re: REJECT CODE IND-996 3 DEP. HAVE IP PIN NO. ENTERED ON INFO. WRKSHT, HOWEVER IRS SAYS IT HAS TO APPEAR ON THE 1040, WHERE DOES IT COME THROUGH FROM THE INF. WORKSHEET?:

The 996 error means it Invalid...are you using the one issued in 2019 instead of the newly issued one in Jan 2020?
