swiftax Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Taxpayer applied for SSN for his new born baby and do not want to wait for weeks until the SSN arrives. How do I deal with this. Can I enter "APPLIED" in the SSN section of the dependent? Thanks Shii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxmannEA Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 It's my understanding that we cannot use the dependant until we have a SS#. You will have to either wait for the number or file without the dependant and amend later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks. If your client will go to the ss office they will give him/her a paper with the childs ss# on it, they will have to wait in line. I have two clients that have kids over a year old and still don't have cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to either wait for the number or file without the dependant and amend later. I had to do this year before last? for LA client due to Katrina destroying SS office. Filed w/out child, then when we finally got number (almost a year later) we amended for addl refund & CTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
