Only in very rare circumstances does the social security office give you a new number. And the IRS is not involved with giving out social security numbers, so they would never give you one.
If you lose your ss card, you can get a replacement from the ss office.
If someone else is using your number, the ss office, or the IRS, or local legal authorities will try to track down who is doing it, depending on how they are using it.

The Social Security Administration may issue you a new number and credit your account if you can prove that a fraud has occurred using you old number. You can only do so with some direct contact with the SSA.

get real -- you can not lose your SS number = now someone might have borrowed the number if so all they could really do with it as far as SS benefits and IRS is concern is put money into your SS account. if you think someone is using your SS number you need to go to the SS office not the IRS.

Its almost impossible. For the most part SS isnt going to buy your story they here it every single day.
The only way to get a new social security number is that your identity has been taken over so much that its harmful to your life. Or you go to witness protection.
Your not getting a new social.

Visit the local SS office ... in person.
