The child entered with a K-2? If so, did you marry your partner yet? Did you file AOS for the child? Did you submit I-765 and I-131 for the child with the AOS packet? When a FREE AOS EAD is issued for the child, then a SSN can be assigned. 2018 Taxes aren't due until April. File any old taxes now, then amend later.

He needs an SSN for the kid to enroll the kid in his employer's health care plan.

 

Under the 2018 tax reform, personal exemptions are history, so he doesn't need an SSN or ITIN for tax forms for the kid's personal exemption.

I admit I initially didn't address that part of OP's post. But I (and other users) addressed it later:

SSN isn't required for insurance. You may have to go back and forth with your HR for them to figure out how to do so without an SSN (many businesses don't deal with this circumstance often), but it can be done. If you have further questions about this either ask @geowrian or @Boiler.

Also, as someone mentioned by @TM92 you don't need a SSN to add them to your health insurance. I added my stepchildren to my health insurance mid year w/o SSN and I had no issue. Good Luck..

SSN is not required for insurance coverage.

 

ATIN is not for a child unless being adopted. The previous reading of the passage was incorrect.

It's not for 1) an adoption of a USC, or 2) a resident child.

If is for an adoption of 1) a USC or 2) a resident child.

From the link provided:

"Q.1. What is an ATIN?

A.1. An ATIN is an Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the Internal Revenue Service as a temporary taxpayer identification number for the child in a domestic adoption where the adopting taxpayers do not have and/or are unable to obtain the child's Social Security Number (SSN). The ATIN is to be used by the adopting taxpayers on their Federal Income Tax return to identify the child while final domestic adoption is pending."

I respectfully disagree with this statement unless the OP has specifically stated that he's adopting his fiancee's daughter, then yes you're correct in suggesting in applying for an ATIN if he's legally going to adopt the child.

 

The course of action would be applying for an ITIN and selecting Exception D and entering the OP's SSN.

  

 

@khmer@nikeI would suggest reaching to your local CAA (IRS Certified Acceptance Agent) to assist you with filing an ITIN. You can search them by going to this site https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/acceptance-agent-program I'm a CAA but I live in NJ but you can PM if you have any specific questions. Just be aware that it takes approximately 6+ weeks to get the ITIN application processed. Also, as someone mentioned by @TM92 you don't need a SSN to add them to your health insurance. I added my stepchildren to my health insurance mid year w/o SSN and I had no issue. Good Luck..

 

Ameribrazil -  Actually i did apply for ITIN - W7 but got rejected.  According to IRS suggested that my Step daughter has not been in the country for 1 full year.  i don't know the reason why that's why i'm turned in VJ for help.  I will stop by local office to have a chat with them for sure.  I just my step child for my work benifit but has not process yet.  it's been 3 months past by i'm just a little concern.
