Because of Marriage, Divorce, or Voluntary Name Change, IRS suggests following Taxpayer Actions:
1. Notify SSA about the Name Change. This way IRS Computers can match your New Name with the Social Security Number.
2. After divorce if you are using your prior last name, notify SSA about name change.
3.To Inform SSA about the name change, File Form SS-5, which is Application For a Social Security Card, at your local SSA office or by mail with a proof of your legal name change - (800) 772 1213
4.Go to SSA website www.ssa.gov for on line From SS-5.Your new card will have the same SS# but with New Name.
5. If you have adopted Spouse's children, you would like to update their Names as well. For adopted children without SSNs, parents can apply for Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number by filing out Form W-7A
