And I don't want my new social security to be affected by the social I used to work with and I don't want to get in trouble since im trying to do everything legally now.

Rawf 336 Posted February 11, 2013 I worked with a fake ssn and did my taxes using my real social security number. Was already approved the refunds and everything. And just FYI, you can no longer use the ITIN after obtaining a SSN. You have to send a letter to the IRS to rescind your ITIN asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calidreamer 100 Posted February 11, 2013 As far as i know SS Admin will notified the IRS about your new SS#, you can get more info here http://adreamact.com/forum/3-dream-act-questions-answers/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawf 336 Posted February 11, 2013 It isn't the SS Administration's job to notify the IRS. It is something you have to do on your own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You used your fake SSN w-2 to apply for tax return with your new SSN ?? that could catch up with you in the future, just saying. I really don't advise doing that because I think that is tax fraud ?

I really don't advise doing that because I think that is tax fraud ? It isn't fraud because I'm using my own name and a made up ssn, if you are using someone's else ssn and name then yes that is fraud. What is the difference between working with a fake ssn and doing taxes with an ITIN? No difference than working with a fake ssn and using your real one to file taxes.

Rawf 336 Posted February 12, 2013 ITIN is assigned by the government for individuals to file taxes. Fake ssn is fake ssn. You still don't get my point. You work with a fake ssn and file taxes using the ITIN (assigned by the government). (Illegal immigrant) You work with a fake ssn and file taxes using your valid SSN(assigned by the government). (Legal Immigrant) Once you use your real ssn to file for taxes, you cannot longer use the fake ssn to work, that will get you in serious trouble. If there were any issues, then the IRS would deny the file of taxes and refuse to give you a refund. 1 Calidreamer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they assign individuals ITIN # so they can claim their w-2 returns earned while working with fake ssn. If you file with your real ITIN, then you are associating yourself with the fake ssn and committing another crime. I dunoo, I am not a lawyer or an expert on this topic but working with your fake ssn and claiming your w-2 returns with you government issued ITIN sounds illegal to me.

It might be, so is driving without a license, opening bank accounts, etc.. people still do it. What would you do then? Not file taxes at all and be one more illegal immigrant evading taxes? Not right at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not file taxes at all and be one more illegal immigrant evading taxes? Not right at all. You won't be evading taxes at all, actually the government would own you money not the other way around, except in this case you are working with a fake SSN. Tax evasion only applies to people who earn an income other than their paycheck and fail to include it in their returns when the other party who paid them files taxes saying they paid them, or when you decrease the deductible tax amount from your paycheck saying you would rather pay them at the end of the year and fail to do so. Tax evasion usually entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting or concealing the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability and includes in particular dishonest tax reporting, such as declaring less income, profits or gains than actually earned or overstating deductions.Tax evasion is an activity commonly associated with the informal economy and one measure of the extent of tax evasion is the amount of unreported income, namely the difference between the amount of income that should legally be reported to the tax authorities and the actual amount reported, which is also sometimes referred to as the tax gap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
