Denise, I think you do lose out since folks who use ITINs don’t qualify. If you have income, you might want to consider filing separately to take advantage of your SSN. Of course, this could also result in a greater tax liability depending on your situation – make sure that you check with your tax preparer.

Mel: No, the IRS will catch this. And I think you’re begging for trouble. You need to consult with an attorney.

If you have not yet filed for a SSN and you are not eligible for a SSN, you do need to file for an ITIN; if your spouse is a citizen, you would qualify. If your SSN application is pending (I can’t tell from your comment), you should not file for an ITIN.

my spouse is a us citizen and he files for taxes but we got married on juli 28 2007 and we had file papers for a green card but they got lost and we need to refile so i haven’t receive a ssn and my husband can’t file tax with me and he is suppose to receive about $7.000 of return tax but since he can’t claim me because i don;t have a ssn he won’t get any of it back, i was told that i can apply for a itin so he cn file taxes with me as a married person and father but i don’t know if i am aligable for an itin, what do you think?

hi, i have been reading your comments and i am wondering if the person who has an ITIN don’t qualify for the tax rebate, what about the other people who do have a valid SS# and are US CITIZENS BY BIRTH. My daughters and I are US CITIZENS but my husband is not.Do we qualify or because my husband USES/HAS an ITIN WE LOSE OUT!
