Filing taxes with a "valid to work only with DHS authorization" SSN as a nonresident alien

Hello,

I've worked legally in the US under a J-1 visa back in 2007, and got assigned with a Social Security number that says "Valid to work only with DHS authorization". Came back here this year (under a valid B2 visa) and had some withheld taxes from earnings I've obtained here.

I'd like to know if I can use my SSN to file these taxes, because the ITIN application form says explicitly that people who own a Social Security number can't apply for an ITIN, but I am unsure if I can use my SSN in this situation, considering my current nonresident alien status (I don't plan to move to the US anytime soon).
