Hello johncinantq, 

 

Welcome to the Community Robot wink.

I certainly understand where you are coming from when you say you are very cautious about putting your SSN number online. Check out this post I made just last week in regards to why you have to provide your SSN. However, if you are not close to the threshold there is no need to provide your SSN.
