While SSN rules for the child tax credit and earned income credit remain the same, the IRS is now enforcing them more strictly through real-time e-file checks and new reject codes. This webinar will show you how to identify acceptable SSNs, distinguish them from ITINs and ATINs, and read SSA-issued cards to determine validity. We’ll cover common issues that delay refunds, such as late-issued SSNs or restricted cards, and provide practical tips for documenting identity, verifying information and advising clients, especially in mixed-status households. You’ll leave with tools to confidently apply the new rules, avoid filing delays and ensure your clients receive the credits they’re entitled to. Note: This webinar is open to everyone. NATP members who attend and complete the polls will receive 2 CPE. If you're not yet a member, you can join the free webinar, but CPE credits are available exclusively to NATP members.
