Re: SSN's

Careful about using 999 numbers , the IRS actually use these for non resident taxpayers. (Spouses of H1- B visa holders etc) For all you H1-B's out there, if your H4 other half can't get an SSN, then they must have a
number from the INS called a TaxPayer ID number (TIN).

Otherwise the banks will withhold 36% of your interest for the IRS. Also when you file your taxes at the end of the year, if your H4 spouse does not have either a SSN or a TIN,
the IRS will not allow you to claim any allowances against your taxes for them.

There are two people (or organizations) that you MUST give your SSN to.

Your employer - you can't work in the US without an SSN and your employer must ensure that you have a valid SSN.

Your Bank - so the IRS can track any financial transactions.

Your employer cannot get in trouble for knowing your SSN.

I enjoyed the stories about someone getting checks and then the SSA gave him a new SSN from someone who was "really" dead. Someday I'll tell you about my experiences wrangling frogs.

Foreign nationals are fun. There is a 10 digit INS number for Green Card holders - but they have no trouble getting an SSN if they're here to work legitimately. Generally, when dealing with people who do not have an SSN you can make one up, just start it with "999-" since real SSNs don't go that high. Also, don't call it an SSN since those people may think that they have been issued an SSN and really get themselves in trouble.
