What is an ITIN and why does it matter?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is issued by the IRS to people who need to file a U.S. tax return but aren't eligible for a Social Security number. As a Certified Acceptance Agent, we can verify your original documents ourselves, so in most cases you don't need to mail your passport or ID to the IRS.
When do you need this?
- Filing a tax return without a Social Security number
- Claiming a spouse or dependent on a tax return
- Renewing an expired ITIN
- Opening certain U.S. bank accounts
What's included
- In-person review of your original documents
- Form W-7 preparation
- Submission guidance with your tax return
- Bilingual support throughout the process
