Has anyone used an ITIN #?

What do you do with the ITIN # (individual taxpayer's id number) once you receive your ssn#?

[Reba 2]

the ITIN is now null and void once you have your SSN.

the ITIN is now null and void once you have your SSN.

So do you turn in the card when applying for ssn#? Or submit it to IRS? not sure of the procedure to officially rid oneself of it so it won't end up in the wrong hands...

Note: don't have the original letter that came with it, just have the card itself.

Thanks

You would need to send a copy of SSN, and copy of ITIN page to IRS to update IRS's records. You can either walk in to your local IRS office or send mail with copy of both to below address. For inquiry you may call (212) 516-4846.

I did nothing about the ITIN and just used the new SSN on the second joint tax return. No problem.

So I'm right in assuming they automatically link both numbers together then?

I don't have enough information to conclude that. For what it's worth, as far as I know, one of our joint bank accounts only has her ITIN.

Why do you think linking or non linking matters?

It doesn't, I was just curious as to what happens with ITIN once we receive ssn...just for personal knowledge nothing more LOL...
