How do I get my Son's Social Security Number?

  • I have a 3 year old son and His Mom and I are separated. I do not have a copy of his birth certificate in my possession, however I am listed as the father. The Mom is not claiming ...show more

  • Answer:

    You can get a copy of his SS card from the SSA but you'll need a copy of his birth certificate to do so. However, since you are the non-custodial parent you can NOT claim your son on your return unless his mother gives you a completed From 8332 or a similar written statement that you must attach to your tax return. Alternatively if your divorce decree grants you the exemption AND meets the strict requirements set out in Federal law you could attach copies of the relevant pages of the decree to your tax return and claim the child. See IRS Pub 501 for further details. Here's a link: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf

Since you can only claim the child if the mother gives you a SIGNED form 8332, you are out of luck.

Quick Answers

Sorry, but if your son lives with her, then you are only allowed to claim him if she signs over the exemption to you, even if she doesn't claim him herself.

Bostonia... is right with his advice...but if you just HAVE to have the SS...go to the place you filed your taxes the last time you did claim him (possibly when you two were still together and request a copy of YOUR tax return...it will be on the tax return and if you filed as "married filing joint" you have just as much right to the copy of your file as your ex wife!

If I were the mother, I'd probably do the same. While I don't know you personally, I do know that parents will take their kids SS# and ruin their credit. She may just be protecting your child.
