Tax Trivia: Misused Social Security Number

Kelly Phillips ErbJanuary 23, 2010

Update: We have a winner! It’s Michelle! For the answer, see the comments!

Our next tax trivia question for the giveaway is:

What is the most misused Social Security number in history, with more than 40,000 taxpayers using it as their own?

The first correct answer wins free CCH tax prep software. My answer on this one is final.

Remember that you have to comment on the actual post, not on email, Twitter or Facebook, in order to win (though feel free to comment that way for fun). You can read the rules for the giveaway and more about the prizes here.

What’s your guess?
