PensionNewbee Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 I've sent several SS-$ applications to the IRS for Trust ID numbers, and one was kicked back asking for the SSN of the trustee. Is that required?
Mike Preston Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Usually. When on the phone, the person at the IRS asks for the Trustee's SSN "for identification purposes". I don't really understand why they need it, since nothing is done by the Trust under the SSN of the Trustee. But they seem to require it.
Guest RBeck Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 I usually put the Employer ID number on the form and haven't had a problem with it.
