Request an IRS return transcript for 2016 to 2018. If you filed jointly both SSNs will be on the transcript. In response to comment, spouse does not have access to any returns. They may exist and be fraudulent. If the spouse filed separate returns in years past they should have the husband's SSN on them as a cross reference.
File MFS and attach a note that he won't give it to you.Since you don't have his SSN, you can't efile. There is a $50 penalty for not providing the SSN, but the note gets you out of that.
You don't need his SSN. Write the IRS giving them his current address, phone # and email address.
Is he self-employed? Does he have a place of business? If so give the address of his business. What does he do? How many days a week does he work? Is he employed by someone who pays him under the table? Then give the name of the employer and the employer's address. Give as much info as you can about his employment.
I don't understand why you don't have his SSN; don't you keep copies of your income tax returns because you should; they should be kept for 7 years (assuming you work). If you've been employed the IRS is going to wonder why YOU haven't been filing your income tax returns.
Good Luck...if you dont already have it...you can ask.
I'm not sure how you wouldnt have this information though, having been married. You would have been required to file tax returns over the years, did you never see any ever?

You cannot, unless he freely gives it to you or a court requires him to give it to you.
You DO NOT NEED his SSN. Your divorce attorney can get the information you actually need.
