You would only use your social security number if you do not have a PTIN. Maribeth Quote

Maribeth Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Thank you Maribeth. Do you maean that my PTIN # is what they want in that box? Thank againg Lucho If you have a PTIN, then you put that number in the appropriate box. and do not place anything in the social security box. If you do not have a PTIN, then you put your social security number in the social security box. You ONLY use one number. Does this help? Maribeth Quote

Maribeth Lucho, if you don't already have one, I recommend you get a PTIN. It's much safer than having your SSN on whatever amount of returns you prepare. Use form W7P to request one. Eli Quote
