Yes

If you prepared your 2020 Federal tax return with a TurboTax online product, sign into the correct TurboTax account, select Your tax returns and documents and select last year's tax return for download. Make sure that you download all tax forms, government worksheets and TurboTax worksheets.

You may also be able to find your child's Social Security number by the following methods.

• If you have a copy of a prior year tax return that included your child, itwill have the child's Social Security number.
• Medical/school records may have the Social Security number.
• Contact the Social SecurityAdministration at 1-800-772-1213 or go online to ask fora Social SecurityCardreplacement card.

@adondine1No one can look it up for you. If you have listed your child as a dependent on a past tax return then you can look at one of those returns and get the SSN from it.

You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax? If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

No, Turbo Tax is not able to look up information for you.Visiting your local social security office is quick and easy. You can also go online. Please see SSAFAQ for SSN cards here.

@KeshawnaThis question has been answered in the thread already. But....You can look on a past tax return for your child's SSN if you claimed the child as a dependent on a past tax return. Or you can contact the Social Security office to get a new card for your child. TurboTax cannot get your child's SSN for you.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

@Wullbrandt, please follow the steps @xmasbaby0 listed above.

You can contact the Social Security Administration at www.ssa.gov.

Social Security numbers are confidential information, so they are not available online. You will have to call.

@xmasbaby0 Had a very complete answer on using TurboTax to get the information.

No one can look it up for you. If you have listed your child as a dependent on a past tax return then you can look at one of those returns and get the SSN from it.

You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

No, there is no way to look it up in Community.

If you can't find your 2020 tax return or your child's Social Security card, you need to contact the Social Security Administration to get the card replaced.
