IND 996 is saying the IP PIN is invalid.  Youre using the IP PIN that was received in Jan 2020, right?  Make sure you have the right IP assigned to the right Dependent

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.

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

Hello,

 

I received this error message on both the parents return and the child's return.  I can clearly see where to enter on the child's return.  On the parents return where can I enter this number for the dependent child?  The child is like 21 and in college.

Its n the dependent entry table, right next to their age, look at the descriptions at the top of the table, you should see Dependent IPPIN for one of the boxes.
