The IRS requires a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for electronic filing. This is mentioned in IRS 1040 instructions. This is what is used to verify your identity by matching names that are in the Social security database. This is not strictly a Turbo Tax requirement.
