  Ouch!  Bad advice for this tax season!  From the 1992 1040A, page 21:

  "Any dependent age 1 or older must have a social security number.  You
must enter that number in column (3).  If you do not enter it or if the
number is wrong, you may have to pay a $50 penalty."

It goes on to describe the procedure for applying for the required SSN
and what to do while waiting.  The world won't come to an end if you don't
have it, but it will cost a few dollars...
