Social Security Issued A New SSN - What Do I Do Now?

I went to renew my driver's license & was denied. My driver's lic birthdate didn't match my SS birthdate. Bummer.

I checked and licensing had the right date. SS would not disclose to me the birthdate they had. After many attempts, (and an expired driver's license) I got someone to tell me what date they had.

SS was off by exactly 3 years (typo I guess)
I had a certified copy of my birth certificate sent to SS and they would not believe that they made a mistake. Double Bummer.

SS concluded that they needed to issue a NEW SS Number. Triple bummer. With that, I was able to to get my license renewed.

Now what do I do? I have two (2) SS numbers and it'll be 3 years longer to get benefits. How do I get this mess straightened out? Which S S Number do I use to fill out my taxes?
