Question:<\/strong> I applied and obtained the work authorization number issued by USCIS under the “deferred action for childhood arrivals process” in 2012. I got the number 2013, but had already been working under a false SSN received as a child. Now I have W-2’s issued in both the false SSN and the new work authorization SSN.<\/p>\n

How do I report this on the tax return, since there will be 2 different SSN numbers on the W-2s.?<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> Use your legal SSN on the tax return, and then enter each\u00a0W-2<\/a>\u00a0exactly as it appears.<\/p>\n

The IRS permits a mis-match when the SSN on the W-2 doesn’t match the\u00a0ITIN<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on the tax return. However, the exception is specific to taxpayer’s with ITIN.<\/p>\n

The year in which someone using a stolen SSN obtains their own SSN and they have a mismatch SSN\/SSN instead of ITIN\/SSN the return would need to be paper filed. Attach a letter to your tax return, explaining to the IRS about the SSN mis-match.<\/p>\n
