Starting in the 2025 tax season (for your 2024 tax returns), the IRS is introducing a new rule to help taxpayers who are claiming a dependent that someone else has already claimed. If you have an ๐๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ (๐๐ ๐๐๐), you can now file your tax return electronically, even if your dependentโs Social Security Number (SSN) has been used on another return. This change is designed to make the process faster and reduce delays caused by paper filing.
๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐๐๐?
An ๐๐ ๐๐๐?is a 6-digit number given by the IRS to protect your identity and prevent tax-related fraud. If you have an IP PIN, you can use it to file your taxes electronically, even if thereโs a duplicate dependent issue.

If the IRS rejects your tax return because someone else has already claimed your dependent, you will need to get an IP PIN to file electronically. Hereโs what to do:
Use the ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐๐๐ tool on the IRS website (www.irs.gov) to request your IP PIN.
Once you have your IP PIN, include it on your tax return and file electronically.
If you donโt get an IP PIN, you will need to print and mail your tax return to the IRS.

If you already have an IP PIN, you can file your tax return electronically, even if your dependent has been claimed by someone else. However, the IRS will not tell you right away that someone else claimed the same dependent. Instead, they will send you a notice later to let you know about the situation.

This new rule makes it easier for taxpayers to file their returns electronically, even when thereโs a dependent conflict. It also helps the IRS resolve these issues faster, so you can get your refund sooner.

๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐๐๐: If you donโt have one, use the IRS website to request it. This will allow you to file electronically.
๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ: If you have an IP PIN, you can file your taxes online, even if someone else claimed your dependent.
๐๐๐ญ๐๐ก ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฌ: If someone else claimed your dependent, the IRS will send you a notice after you file.
By following these steps, you can avoid delays and make the tax filing process smoother. If you need help, consult Inspiration tax professional services.
