** What to do with ITIN after receiving SSN ** - Page 15

I applied for FAFSA (and got denied obviously) to have proof on paper to show my scholarships the lack of government aid I was receiving and how scholarships were my only option to pay for school.

That's a good move not gonna lie pal. Do you know anything regarding health insurance application with our EAC & social security number?

Do we have to do this whole three credit bureaus thing if we have never had a credit card or requested credit???
I have never applied for a credit card so I don't have a credit history at all. I did the IRS thing and went to my bank to switch the ITIN to my SSN in my account but that's it...

Does this show up in my employer's background check? i am waiting a response on that and am nervous they won't hire me because of my lack of background or not validating my social.

If you do not have credit, then transferring credit does not apply to you, since, what is there to transfer?
So don't worry about it.

bump this thread since many asking same questions relating to this thread

who are the moderators here? they should sticky this thread...too many threads asking for the same questions

Thanks. Great post. Sent my letter to ITIN

Hey guys so I filed tax amendments for 2009, 2010 and 2011 right after I received my 2012 tax return, which was my first return using my new social security. In the past I had used my ITIN to file my tax returns. I was told my tax armaments would take 8 to 12 weeks to get processed it's been more than 15 weeks and I have not heard back from the IRS.
I called in three weeks ago and I was told it was still pending. Is anyone else in here in this situation? Now I'm wondering if my tax preparer did something wrong with my amendments or if this is normal IRS time frame ???

Huh? You filed 2009, 2010, 2011 with your ITIN, then amended them with your new SSN? You were suppose to just rescind your ITIN, which they will transfer all info associated with ITIN to your new SSN, not amend your previous tax returns which you filed under your ITIN.

I filed 2009 in February of 2010, 2010 tax return in February of 2011 etc. Not all at once. My tax preparer told me that I could file amendments for the last three years to receive the credits I was unable to receive before because I was using an ITIN, primarily the child tax credit for my son. At the same the amendments were going to be used to rescind ITIN and notify IRS of the new SSN.
