If you REALLY meant that you had an ITIN until you got the SS# then you will file only using the SS# on the return HOWEVER you will report all the income earned under both numbers.
Then ..... if you have not done so yet ....
You need to notify the IRS, so it can combine all of your tax records under one identification number. This is from IRS website:
What do I do when I
am assigned a social security number (SSN)?
Once you receive a SSN, you must use that number for tax
purposes and discontinue using your ITIN. It is improper to use both the
ITIN and the SSN assigned to the same person to file tax returns. It is
your responsibility to notify the IRS so we can combine all of your tax records
under one identification number. If you do not notify the IRS when you
are assigned a SSN, you may not receive credit for all wages paid and taxes
withheld which could reduce the amount of any refund due. You can visit a
local IRS office or write a letter explaining that you have now been assigned a
SSN and want your tax records combined. Include your complete name,
mailing address, and ITIN along with a copy of your social security card and a
copy of the CP 565, Notice of ITIN Assignment, if available. The IRS will
void the ITIN and associate all prior tax information filed under the ITIN with
the SSN. Send your letter to:
