Hello, my husband just received his social security card at the beginning of February. When we went to file our taxes, our tax prep did not allow my husband to use his social security number to file our 2020 taxes. We were told that since he didn't use the social security number in 2020, there would be mismatch information and we'd be in trouble with the IRS. My husband's Itin had just expired at the end of January so he had my husband file to renew the Itin and file our taxes at the same time using the expired Itin. Will this be an issue in the future? Should we wait until the Itin is renewed before notifying the Irs that my husband now has a social security number? Also, how long is the wait time for Itin renewals and tax refunds at this time? I feel like it would have been much easier to file with his social security number and notify the Irs right after. Should we amend the tax return and file with his social security number? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
