Rescind ITIN Number After Getting Social Security Number (SSN)
Individuals who are not eligible to receive a
Social Security Number (SSN) instead get an
Individual Tax Payer Identification Number
(ITIN).
An alien individual can't have both an ITIN and a SSN. Therefore, once you receive your SSN (e.g., after getting an EAD), you will have to rescind your ITIN.
After you receive your new SSN, you will have to send a letter to the IRS ITIN Unit requesting a rescind of your ITIN. The SSN will become the primary number and must be used for all future filing purposes. The IRS will void the ITIN. All prior tax information under the ITIN will be associated with the new SSN.
