Social security cards in the US.?

when a recalcitrant f-1 student here in the US is working with his /her social security card issued to him by the SS office,do the IRS who take taxes from the social know the differences in the types of social security numbers issued(like socials for immigrant workers,students etc) and the details on the social security number? 2.Will the IRS tax the fellow as an immigrant social security number? 3.I have this f-1 friends in school and they recently had their socials issued to them by the social security office.I was sooo surprised when the had the inscription like the **this number is established for brian thomas** as like the normal **work with DHS authorization only ** that normally appears on non-permanent residents socials.How were they able to get a **permanent resident type** of social scurity number and card?Or do f-1s qualify for such social security cards and numbers?What processes did they follow?

Reply:Types of Social Security Cards








We issue three types of Social Security cards. All cards show your name and Social Security number.





1. The first type of card shows your name and Social Security number and lets you work without restriction. We issue it to:


U.S. citizens; and





People lawfully admitted to the United States on a permanent basis.





2. The second type of card shows your name and number and notes, “VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION.” We issue this type of card to people lawfully admitted to the United States on a temporary basis who have DHS authorization to work.








3. The third type of card shows your name and number and notes, “NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT.” We issue it to people from other countries:








Who are lawfully admitted to the United States without work authorization from DHS, but with a valid nonwork reason for needing a Social Security number; or





Who need a number because of a federal law requiring a Social Security number to get a benefit or service.
