random_person | Am I required to give my social security number to a new employer? |
I'm being offered a job, but the company is not very well known, and I'm not sure if it's legit just because of all the scams out there.
They sent me a contract and tax forms to fill out but the tax forms require my SSN. I don't know if I trust them with it, but I'm really desperate for a job. I'm having trouble paying my bills and it's hard to find a job I can do because I'm disabled.
Is there ANY way I can avoid giving this employer my SSN, and maybe send the tax forms directly to the IRS on my own instead. I don't know what to do.
Also, if I do give it to them and it turns out to be a scam, what could they use my SSN for? Could they steal money out of my bank account?
Additional Details
I can't go to the office; the headquarters is based in another state and they want it faxed. |

If someone gets ahold of your social security number, they can damage your credit report. My father was a victim of identity theft. We're Asian, but we started receiving bills for someone named Ahmed or something. When we contacted American Express (one of the many credit card accounts he added himself to), the representative said this person said that he was my dad's grandson. I suppose it's entirely possible for an Asian to have a grandson who's named Ahmed, but my dad was only 48 or 49 at the time. He's not going to have a grandchild who's old enough to have a credit card at that age. I'm his oldest kid and I was only 22 at that time. Fortunately, my dad's usually on top of these things, so he noticed that someone was adding himself to his accounts and buying a lot of stuff. He contacted all the appropriate companies and had everything fixed. I believe if you don't do report fraud within a certain timeframe, you are responsible for the bill later. I'm not 100% on this, but even if it's not true, I'd still check my accounts and credit report often.
I would definitely be careful about who you give your social security number to. I would try contacting the Better Business Bureau or something.

As far as sending your information directly to the IRS, I don't know anything about that. I'd contact them directly, too.
http://www.irs.gov/contact/index.html
People can open bank accounts and credit cards in your name. I suppose they can get loans, too. It can ruin your credit. I understand why you're being cautious. I would do all my homework before submitting my information. Others have said yes, you need to fill out the forms to work, but who's to say people aren't using official forms, under the pretense of being a prospective employer, to obtain your personal information? |

Your employer must send the money he deducts from your check to the IRS. In order for it to be credited properly to you, he needs your SS number. It's the law. There are severe penalties for employers who misuse these numbers. |

Only accept jobs that you can:
1. Go to their building and talk to someone face to face.
2. See people actually working
Do not give personal information to "job offers" from Internet distance businesses. |

Yes you do need to give your employer your ss#. But if you're that worried about it being a scam, maybe you need to reconsider the "job" and investigate it a little more. If it's anything where you have to send THEM any kind of money for anything, then it's probably a scam, not a job. If something about it just doesn't seem right, you should trust your gut. |

Yes, you must provide a ss# to your employer. It is required by federal law. It is one of the few times you are actually required to provide it. How else can they withhold your social security taxes?
No, there is no way they could take money from your bank account with it. |

You are required to give an employer your ss#. That is how your taxes are reported. If it is a shady company why dont you research the company first. Better Business Bureau, etc. |

If it turns out to be a scam, they could use your SSN to steal your identity.
Generally, local police departments have info as to who's a reputable company and who's a scammer, so contact them to see if they have any info.
You are not required to give your SSN number to an employer until you have met them face to face and accepted the job. They need your SSN number to verify you are here legally, and to set up correct withholding from your check for taxes.
I wouldn't do anything until I met them face to face and also til I checked out the company. If you get ripped off, it could be years til the damage is fixed. |

are u serious??? what kind of jobs have u had before once u get hired it's the law to give your valid ID and ss# for tax purposes. if u are desperate for a job then take it i mean are u really protecting anything with your social??? if u have great credit maybe but do u?? also there are a lot of ligit companies that ppl start on their own and name them whatever they want and are very sucessful. u seem a little paranoid to me especially if u are in a tight spot financially... |

Yes, you are pretty much required to provide your social security number. In turn, your future employer is required to provide that number to the federal government for both IRS and Social Security taxes. They are required to file forms ensuring that they have ensured that you are either a citizen and/or have the proper green card type documentation. Often, they are required to provide that number to your state's employment records people for the purposes of collecting state income tax, recording your employment and/or their unemployment insurance premiums, your on-the-job-injury injury insurance, and more. Often they are required to provide your social security information to their own insurance company so that they are covered for any serious damage done to you, your possessions, and/you that you do while you are on the clock. If your future employer offers any employee insurance, or insurance for the benefit of the employee, those insurance companies also require that a social security number be provided. If your position requires bonding or any type of a background check as determined by law, a social security number is required. Often, employers optionally perform background and/or credit checks on their employees which then also require a social security number.
