In the United States, both SSN (Social Security Number) and ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) are used for tax reporting, but they serve different purposes.
SSN is issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to U.S. citizens, green card holders, and authorized workers. It’s used for employment, tax filing, credit, and government benefits.
ITIN, on the other hand, is issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to nonresidents and foreign nationals who are not eligible for an SSN but still need to file U.S. taxes or report income.
SSN → For U.S. citizens and residents authorized to work
ITIN → For nonresidents or individuals without work authorization who still need to meet U.S. tax obligations
Having the right number ensures your tax filings are accurate and accepted by the IRS.
