My nine SSN digits are looking the same as the ITIN just the first digit is different on the SSN but the rest is the same as the ITIN number. Will this be suspicious to the IRS or not? I'm worried If pops up on someonel elses SSN on IRS records. I'm confused about what to do?
No, it's fine. Use the SSN on your tax return. You might be unable to e-file if the IRS doesn't match your record, you can try zero as your AGI if last year's AGI doesn't work. Now that you have the SSN, don't file with the ITIN.
Separately, you need to send a letter to the IRS with the ITIN and the SSN, as described in the above answer. The IRS will associate your SSN and ITIN in their computer system.
