ITIN and social complication

[danxantonio]

W-2 has fake social security #. Used only for work purposes.. I received ITIN later in 2018. How should I enter info in the personal info section and the W-2 section. Should I still insert the fake social or just put my ITIN everywhere.

In the Personal Info enter your ITIN. In the W-2, enter the fake Social Security number that's on the W-2 that you got from your employer. The IRS understands the situation.
