If you pay your taxes with aTIN. It counts on the SSA?

Question

But if paying taxes with a TIN. It will be applied to your records of SSA later when you have a Social Security number?

Answer 1

Just backing up wartz and bostonia. If you're using an ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number), then you're having to use that in lieu of a SSN because you can't get one, typically because you're not authorized to work in the US.
You CAN have other sources of legal income, however, so it is possible to file with an ITIN without doing anything illegal. You could easily have stocks, bonds, interest, or dividend income. Plus much more.
The person who said TIN can be an EIN or an SNN is correct. But an ITIN is very, very different than those two things. And, on top of all the answers, you can NEVER benefit from Social Security if you don't have a Social Security Number. Period.

Answer 2

You cannot legally work using an ITIN. So, no, any income reported and taxes paid under an ITIN are not eligible for credit in the Social Security system, now or ever.

If you are working using an ITIN, you are working illegally. Your work is not eligible for SS credit and cannot be credited even if you become legal at some point in the future. If you become legal and get an SSN, your work from that point forward will be creditable for Social Security.

Answer 3

You have to have a valid social security number to get credit. That was the point of the Individual Tax ID number, you could file a return but were not eligible for employment.

Answer 4

Social Security Numbers, and Employer Identification Numbers are both types of Taxpayer Identification Numbers, but the taxes you pay as employer are credited to the accounts of your employees.

When you work, both you and your employer pay SS taxes on your wages, and they are recorded on your SS number.

When you are self-employed, you pay SS taxes on Schedule SE, Form 1040, and your earnings in self-employment are recorded on your SS number.
