grandmabee Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ok we filed the return with the W-7 included to austin TX. Then we will get the itin number. she is also working on getting a green card to work. So will she then apply for a socical number or always use the itin number. I have never worked with alien returns before and just double checking some information if any one can help it would be appicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 When she can get a social security number, she will use that. The ITIN is for people who cannot get a ssn.

She will use the social security number ever after. She needs to let the social security office that she filed her taxes with the ITIN so that the money contributed is transferred to her social security number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I thought the itin would convert to the ss number once her green card was approved. but its two separate numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 my ex (I do his taxes) just married a girl in Thailand, so I will get to deal with all of this probably next year. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you prefer, you can think of the ITIN, as IRS Temporary Identification number. It is temporary until you get the real social security number. Qualifying for a real social security number has nothing to do with the ITIN, but rather with the immigration status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
