My son (4 years old) is not U.S. citizen. He doesn't have Green Card, but has visa.
He is not eligible for SSN, but he is eligible for ITIN.
We will file W-7 form together with tax return for 2016.
How should I complete Social Security Number information in TurboTax for him, on page "Now let's gather Aleksandr's Social Security number"?
Help page says: "If you don't have a SSN or an ITIN, you'll need to apply for one or the other before you can file your return."
AFAIK, it's incorrect statement, where it uses word "before".
W-7 form includes this information: "you must file a U.S. federal tax return with Form W-7 unless you meet one of the exceptions"
So, based on IRS information, I should submit W-7 form together with tax return, not before that.
How should I complete Social Security Number information in TurboTax for him, on page "Now let's gather Aleksandr's Social Security number"?
If I put "000-00-0000" or "xxx-xx-xxxx" to this field - it says "Invalid social security number"
If I don't put any information there and just click "Continue" - wizard continues. But on Federal Taxes - Health Insurance it doesn't allow me to enter Health Insurance information.
When I reach Health Insurance page - TurboTax says "Just a sec, we found a few things to fix before we can start.... Let's go to Personal Info and fix:....Missing Social Security numbers"
Because of that, I have wrong information in line 61 of form 1040 as a result. Since I don't have Health Insurance information correct in TurboTax - it shows individual responsibility, while it shouldn't
Thank you!
