I'm a little new here. But my question is this..

In 2006 my mom got an itin # for me but they messed up the date of birth and she never even used it on her taxes. I never used it either. I worked alot in 2011-2012 and this year also with a fake ss but I never did my taxes. Now I received my work permit two weeks ago and my real ss today. Can I do my taxes with my itin if I get it corrected or not? I've heard different stories. The irs website clearly states you shouldn't use your itin if you have a ss but a lady at the taxes told me it doesn't count for last year that I can use my itin, send a letter to irs informing them to combine the info to my ss.

I don't want to mess up. Does anyone know??

You should contact the IRS to transfer your ITIN information to your new ssn and make it void. Im not sure if you should go against the advice of your tax preparer but check out this website for more information: Social Security vs. ITIN

Quote:
What do I do when I am assigned a social security number (SSN)?
Once you receive a SSN, you must use that number for tax purposes and discontinue using your ITIN. It is improper to use both the ITIN and the SSN assigned to the same person to file tax returns. It is your responsibility to notify the IRS so we can combine all of your tax records under one identification number. If you do not notify the IRS when you are assigned a SSN, you may not receive credit for all wages paid and taxes withheld which could reduce the amount of any refund due. You can visit a local IRS office or write a letter explaining that you have now been assigned a SSN and want your tax records combined. Include your complete name, mailing address, and ITIN along with a copy of your social security card and a copy of the CP 565, Notice of ITIN Assignment, if available. The IRS will void the ITIN and associate all prior tax information filed under the ITIN with the SSN. Send your letter to:
