No you do not have to re-submit the Tax Returns that you submitted with the ITIN as your Tax Payer Identification Number. Instead you must report the cancellation of your ITIN to the IRS and let them know that you now have an Social Security Number. This process is called "Rescinding your ITIN". This is helpful in the long run to keep your Tax History and Credits intact with the IRS.

For instructions on Rescinding your ITIN please read below:

"Once a SSN has been issued, you must use this number for tax purposes and discontinue using your ITIN. It is improper to use both the ITIN and the SSN assigned to the same person to file tax returns. It is your responsibility to notify the IRS so they can combine all of your tax records under one identification number. If you do not notify the IRS when you are assigned a SSN, you may not receive credit for all wages paid and taxes withheld which could reduce the amount of any refund due.

You can visit a local IRS office or write a letter explaining that you have now been assigned a SSN and want your tax records combined. Include your complete name, mailing address, and ITIN along with a copy of your social security card and a copy of the CP 565, Notice of ITIN Assignment, if available. The IRS will void the ITIN and associate all prior tax information filed under the ITIN with the SSN. Send your letter to:"

No, there is no organization that is required to hold onto this information for more than 7 years. Therefore, they "purge" their systems for fraud protection purposes. If you are able to provide me with more information as to why you need these returns going back that far (perhaps, a sale of a house recently or something like that) I might be able to help you more in where you would be able to provide this information to you.

Once you qualify and obtain a SSN, you are required to notify the IRS of the change and discontinue using the ITIN. Once notified, the IRS will combine your tax records and begin using your SSN. Because the IRS automatically combines all of your tax records, you do not have to file an amended return to change the ITIN to a SSN. The IRS will automatically make the change to your tax return once it receives your request.

Write a letter to the IRS requesting that your ITIN be combined with your new SSN. Include your name, ITIN, Social Security number and mailing address.

Make a copy of your Social Security card.

Make a copy of your CP565 notice, which is the Notice of ITIN Assignment you received from the IRS when assigned your ITIN.

Attach the copies of your Social Security card and the CP565 form to the back of the letter.

Sign and date the letter. Mail all three documents to: Internal Revenue Service Austin, TX 73301-0057

Is there a way to track the status of my ITIN to the SSN update request? Also, can I directly go to the IRS office and submit the same?

My husband and I filed taxes together with my ITIN application less than a month ago. This week my SSN was created and I'll get my card very soon. I haven't received my ITIN, he hasn't received the refund. Due date May 17 in our state.

1. Can we file taxes again, now with my SSN? Or will it be the same procedure as the person that started this thread more than a year ago, (rescinding ITIN)?

2. If we're able to file with my SSN, will I be eligible for stimulus check?

TIA!

Follow the procedure explained by awesome Expert Alumni @VictoriaD75 in Now I have a valid Social Number can I go back and redo my taxes that they were done with a itin number

She says to notify the IRS of the change. You do not have to file an amended tax return.

You would be eligible for the stimulus if you meet the qualifications for a resident alien. Nonresident aliens are not eligible, whether they have a U.S. social security number or not.
