You can't right now (the SSA is WAY behind on getting cards out!). You can go apply for a card. You'll need an ID or something certifying who he is from a doctor or hospital, signed by a physician - birth certificates ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. You'll save yourself so much time knowing that. Generally, new cards take 6-8 weeks, but it's verging on 4 months now. So, if you wait, you'll be past April 15. \n\nSo, file your taxes without him, then ammend your return when you receive his SSN.

Barbara is right. You need to file in the county where the child resides (and has resided for at least 6 months). And, you can only collect child support that dates back to the date you originally filed for support.\n\nYou can pick up the paperwork at your local Family Court office or you can request assistance from D.S.S. They will help you even if you don't qualify for other services.

Try using last years Federal Income Tax return.  If you claimed her as a dependent, you had to have put the number on your 1040.

First off yes you can only if she has not claimed him on her taxes because the child can only be claimed once on a tax form because they go by their social security number, Next if she has not claimed the child then you have to have supported the child 51% of his clothing, schooling, eats, housing and care in general. If this is the case then yes you should be able to claim the both of them only if she is not filing and claiming the child herself. Also the child tax credit is only 800.00 this year instead of 1,000.00 like in 2005. Well I hope that this info has helped you and if you need more info her is the web site to the internal revenue service.\nwww.irs.gov

No, your teenager *probably* doesn't need to file a return. However, you could go to the IRS website (see link below) and file for free through the Free File Alliance. This would *probably* allow him to get back his $9, and it's good practice (better to start learning about taxes before he needs to, rather than waiting until it's too late).

It isn't on your marriage license? Or on any of your papers for insurance, home ownership, mortgage, credit cards? Isn't the father listed on the birth certificate? If you can prove you were married and he is the father, why is the social security administration dragging their feet? Sounds like you might want to consult a social security attorney. \n\nHowever, If you divorced in 1976, even the youngest of the children would be WELL into adulthood... why is social security through the father even an option? Shouldn't it be some sort of adult/need based social security?

You should file.  You may be eligible for earned income credits for your child.  Contact a tax preparation service to see if you qualify.

With the Privacy in Information Act it's now actually a federal crime for any online service to disclose his SSN so you'll likely get nowhere on-line.  Do what the prior poster recommended and visit your local office.

You need to call the IRS and get a copy of your transcript for 1993.  If you filed, you'll have the proof.  If you didn't, then you'll have to file--and pay the penalties and late fees.

Flag your accounts with the 3 credit bureaus immediately!  Put on a fraud alert and ask that no new accounts be opened unless they call you at your home number and verify it's you who wants to open the accounts.\n\nDepending on how they are using your number, you might also want to be aware that they might be using it to hide their income.  If income is getting reported under your social security number and it's something like 1099 income, that could be really, really bad because the IRS will come after you for that tax, but they don't come after you right away, sometimes it takes up to 3 years for them to send you some huge bill you have no idea about.
