What’s my individual tax ID number?

[DavidS127]

A person's U.S. taxpayer identification number (TIN) may be any of the following.

• An individual may have a social security number (SSN). If the individual does not have, and is eligible for, an SSN, he or she must use Form SS-5 (PDF) to get an SSN. The Social Security Administration will tell the individual if he or she is eligible to get an SSN.
• An individual may have an IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). If the individual does not have, and is not eligible for, an SSN, he or she must apply for an ITIN by using Form W–7.
• Any person other than an individual, and any individual who is an employer or who is engaged in a U.S. trade or business as a sole proprietor, must have an Employer Identification Number (EIN).

See this IRS website for more information on the U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number Requirement.

Your tax ID number is your Social Security number.
