I concur. And thanks for the sample letter. Great post.

what if you don't do any of this stuff??... Nothing,, they still know everything about you anyways,
plus this is done automatically once you go to file your taxes next year,, that's why you pay your tax office for, unless you're planning on doing it yourself online.

This should be stickied. Thanks admins!

This isn't just for taxes, read the full original post. Anyways an accountant will charge extra to rescind you ITIN. Why pay for something you can do yourself? And thinking everything will be done automatically is incorrect because different agencies use ssn for different stuff. SSA will not send a memo to everyone that has your ITIN on file.

I literally just got back from the Social Security Office where I had them "Transfer my Earnings" (that's the term she used) from the fake social to the new legitimate one. You have to take all of your W2s from all employers. Don't freak out if you can't find one. They found earnings for a couple of years for which I couldn't find my W2s and transferred them over. She told me that I was then going to get a letter on the mail stating what they had done, and that I need to keep that in my records.


btw thanks to the OP for the post. It is very helpful and has saved me from a couple of headaches. Thanks mate!

Can you elaborate more on what you did at the SSO? So others who worked with a fake, can "transfer their earnings" as well.
