ATIN

An Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number is applied for and used for a taxpayer's child if the child's adoption is pending. If an authorized adoption agency places a child in your home, you may be able to claim the child as your dependent and also claim the child and dependent care credit.

Question: Can you file your tax return electronically if your child has an ATIN and not a SS number? I heard that I may have to mail in the return and wait for it to be processed? Thanks.

Answer: If the number has been issued, you can file electronically. If you're awaiting the number, no.
