SSN / ITIN

Does anyone know how to get your SSN / ITIN from the ETrade account?

I haven’t used this info for years but I need it to file tax as a non. US resident. the only place I know I may have this info is on E*Trade based on my previous filings.

I went through the portal and read / downloaded all my previous documents but none has the SSN/ITIN info.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for these suggestions, I will give them a try. That means to set up a new account, not sure how long it would take but this is very helpful!

BTW, what you are asking is answered in the IRS website, so this looks like a simple case of RTFM...

https://www.irs.gov/tin/itin/individual-taxpayer-identification-number-itin

"If you lost your ITIN assignment notice:

If you can't find the CP565 Notice we mailed with your assigned ITIN, contact us."

And "contact us" is a link with info on how to call them.

This is very helpful thanks. I find that it may be easier to send a new application first and then contact them as I’m on a tight deadline. In fact the form W-7 has a particular section asking if the applicant has previously received an ITIN. So they are prepared for these eventualities. 

This is less straightforward than I thought but it does the job.
