PTIN Supplemental Application For U.S. Citizens Without a Social Security Number Due To Conscientious Religious Objection

Most individuals applying for a preparer tax identification number (PTIN) will have a social security number (SSN), which will be used to help establish their identity. However, there exists a population of US residents that have a conscientious religious objection to obtaining a social security card and do not have social security numbers. Form 8945 is being created to assist that population in establishing their identity while applying for a PTIN. Form 8945 will establish a vehicle for establishing their identity in lieu of providing a social security number.
