What is an ITIN?

An ITIN—or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number—is a tax processing number issued by the IRS. The IRS issues ITINs to certain individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who are ineligible to obtain an SSN from the Social Security Administration. ITINs are used to help individuals comply with the U.S. tax laws and to provide a means to process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for SSNs. ITINs are also used to recover taxes withheld on gambling winnings.

To apply for an ITIN, you will need to submit a completed Form W-7, a U.S. federal income tax return (unless an exception applies), and documentation to substantiate your “identity” and “foreign status.” You may utilize the services of a CAA to assist in obtaining an ITIN. The CAA can sign the Form W-7 and Certificate of Accuracy on your behalf making the ITIN process much more efficient and easier.
