IRS Form W-7 box 6c what to list as "number"?

[newbster 4]

Hi,

We need to file Form W-7 to get an ITIN for our daughter who came here in October 2012. She is too young to get an SSN so I'm filling out form W-7. Box 6c asks for "Type of US visa (if any), number, and expiration date"

So I can list K-1 and expiration date of 1-17-2013 as type and expiration. But for number - any idea what I list? Our MNL?

Thanks!

Technically she came here as a K2? Also, babies born here can get a SS almost after birth so I do not understand what you mean by "too young".

Yes, she came here as K2 but K2 is not really handled separate - it's always just a part of K-1 for processing.

As for too young, you can't get an ITIN when you are young -you have to wait until you are old enough to file for EAD (permission to work).

Anyway, the original question still needs an answer if anyone knowledgeable is able to answer it please?

Thanks

Once her status is adjusted, she has her green card , she can get a SSN. You do not need a SSN, for her, to claim her as a dependent on your taxes if that is why your asking.

Hi Dave,

Thanks. But she will need an ITIN (individual tax id number) to be claimed as a dependent on taxes. To get the ITIN you fill out IRS form W-7, and physically submit a paper copy of your taxes along with her passport. Or you physically take the W-7 and your taxes to an IRS office and they verify her identity using passport. Then your taxes are processed along with the W-7 and an ITIN for her is created.

My question is - on the W-7 form they ask for a K-1 ID. I'm not sure what to enter in that field.

Thanks
