WRONG ... @PatriciaV ... YOU ARE CONTRADICTING YOURSELF.
1) you MUST use only the SS# once it is issued ... so the taxpayer MUST use the SS# on the return NOW ... not using it will deny the taxpayer certain tax credits which would be a shame.
2) the alert is only used to MARRY the person's ITIN tax filings together with the new SS# tax filings and since this child probably never filed a return it is really not necessary but "it could not hurt".
