Hello all,

My wife recently became a green card holder and with that process she also got her new social security number.

She has been working since April 2007 under another social security number. Can I just file taxes normally even though her W2 social security number does not match her new social security number?

I have been told to just file it normally and I have also been told to file and send in a letter explaining the situation.

At the same time, I have also read that what she did was illegal and she could be in some legal trouble for it as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
