ITN and SS #'s Tax question
My wife's son has a ITN but no SS#. Child tax credits are only issued to those with SS#'s. He's 13 and now is a green card holder. Can I get him a SS# to qualify? Help! It'll give me a bit more stimulus.

Before I spend time down there I'd like to have a hint if he can get one.

Try this for non citizen SSN info
http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10096.html#immigration The child should be a qualifying child (#5) http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p972.pdf EDIT: Forget the above. You must have SSN to claim the credit. ![]() Internal Revenue Code Section on the Child care credit. 6428(h) IDENTIFICATION NUMBER REQUIREMENT. -- 6428(h)(1) IN GENERAL. --No credit shall be allowed under subsection (a) to an eligible individual who does not include on the return of tax for the taxable year -- 6428(h)(1)(A) such individual's valid identification number, 6428(h)(1)(B) in the case of a joint return, the valid identification number of such individual's spouse, and 6428(h)(1)(C) in the case of any qualifying child taken into account under subsection (b)(1)(B), the valid identification number of such qualifying child. 6428(h)(2) VALID IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. --For purposes of paragraph (1), the term "valid identification number" means a social security number issued to an individual by the Social Security Administration. Such term shall not include a TIN issued by the Internal Revenue Service. 6428(h)(3) SPECIAL RULE FOR MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES. --Paragraph (1) shall not apply to a joint return where at least 1 spouse was a member of the Armed Forces of the United States at any time during the taxable year. you will have to get one to claim the credit.

Yep - he needs a SS# not a ITN. Don't think he can get one.

If he is a US Resident, he can get a SS#, unless things have changed in the past 20 years. Also, as a US Resident with SS you can claim him.

If he gets a job, he will need one. Call the local SS office and ask. Is he old enough to get working papers in his state of residence? The state employment office would be able to tell you that.

Someone with a green card will have no problem getting a SSN.
In fact, many people get their SSN card when they only have the visa used to enter the country. It depends on the type of visa. If he came in on a family visa then you probably could have gotten him a SSN while the visa was still valid. Ken300D
