I married an American citizen last year in October 2018. We are filing for taxes jointly but i’m currently waiting for OPT employment to come through. However I have a SSN from a previous OPT in 2014. Can I use that one? The SSN also says ‘DHS Work Authorisation’ only.

Does SSN expire?

We are also filing green card later this year.

Does an ITIN expire?

Your ITIN may expire before you file a tax return in 2020. All ITINs not used on a federal tax return at least once in the last three years will expire on December 31, 2019.
