Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am not a resident/citizen and I was in the US in 2016-2017 on a work visa and filed accordingly.

Now I am working in my home country and my wages/taxes are payed in local currency.

In 2022/2023, I will be awarded with some US company stock and I have been asked to fill a W8 form,
The form asks for a SSN/TIN if available.

The SSN when I was in the US, said to be used only with DHS authorization.

Do I need to look for the SSN and provide it? Or should I provide my local tax information?
