You likely won't be able to continue working for your current employer, as they participate in the "trust fund" program. You'll likely be looking to be self-employed.
That's what I'm saying -- if you don't have an SSN, I don't think your employer *can* keep contributing. You'll need to find an employer who doesn't play the "trust fund" game -- i.e., be your own employer.
That's just silly. Unless you particularly like beating your head against a concrete wall. Personally, I prefer to pick my battles and try to pick ones where I have a chance of prevailing. Life's too short to waste my time tilting at concrete windmills.
My grandfather had lots of sayings. He used to say, "Don't step on the eagle's tail." He meant that the government has an infinite ability to hassle you and you have zero ability to hassle the government ...
You really can't -- the only way it would work is if you never had one assigned to you at all.
Not having a Social Security Number doesn't get you out of taxes because it's legal -- it gets you out of them because if you don't have one, you don't exist. You fall through the cracks. If you never pay taxes, the government doesn't notice.
At this point, they have you coded, and you would be missed.
