Divorced but ex wife won't provide SSN for payor's Tax Prep above line deduction.

How do you proceed with error on return?  Can it be efiled in proseries?

    Get one of your clients prior tax returns.  Her Social will be on there.

    Income high enough to file this year.  Haven't filed in past years.  No records available.  Wife won't provide.  Ssn is not available.  How to file without it?

    Sounds like a phone call to the divorce lawyer is in order.

    I'm wondering if you could start backup withholding on the alimony, maybe that will get her attention.
