The taxpayer  (a 1041 as a result of death) has 10 beneficiaries. Due to warring family issues most of them will not provide a SSN or DOB. I hesitate to use the "applied for" status as I think that is reserved for people who don't have a valid SSN and not necessarily this situation. Please correct me if I am wrong about this. My client met an EA who said they submit the return with " requested " under the SSN input. Naturally, this will not pass for e-file but can this be used for paper file?

Thank you
