Who It's For

Do You Need an ITIN?

An ITIN is the U.S. tax ID for people who have a U.S. federal tax purpose but aren't eligible for a Social Security Number. You likely need one if:

  • You earned U.S.‑source income — casino or gambling winnings, royalties, investments, or real estate
  • You must file a U.S. non‑resident tax return (Form 1040‑NR)
  • You're claiming a U.S. tax‑treaty benefit or a refund of over‑withheld tax
  • You're a spouse or dependent of a U.S. taxpayer, where eligible
  • Your existing ITIN has expired and needs renewing
One Number, Many Uses

What You Can Do With an ITIN

An ITIN lets non‑U.S. residents meet their U.S. federal tax requirements.

File a U.S. Tax Return

Meet your filing obligations on U.S.‑source income with a valid taxpayer ID.

Claim a Refund

Recover U.S. tax that was over‑withheld — including on casino or gambling winnings.

Claim Treaty Benefits

Apply the reduced withholding rates you're entitled to under a U.S. tax treaty.

Be Claimed on a Return

Be included as a qualifying spouse or dependent of a U.S. taxpayer, where eligible.

Report Business or Investment Income

Handle tax reporting on U.S. business, rental, or investment income as a non‑resident.

Provide a Tax ID When Requested

Supply the taxpayer ID banks and payment platforms may require for U.S. tax reporting.

Please note: an ITIN is issued strictly for U.S. federal tax purposes. It does not grant work authorization, immigration status, or Social Security eligibility.

The Right Way To Apply

Why Work With a Certifying Acceptance Agent

Most rejected ITIN applications fail on documentation. Here's what you gain by having a CAA handle it.

Keep Your Passport

Applying on your own means mailing your original passport to a U.S. IRS office. As a CAA, we certify your documents — so you keep them.

Done Correctly, First Time

We complete Form W‑7 and assemble the full application package accurately — reducing the risk of costly delays or rejection.

Guided Every Step

With over two decades of experience, we manage IRS communication on your behalf and keep you informed until your ITIN is issued.

Good Questions

Frequently Asked

Do I need an ITIN?
If you have a U.S. federal tax purpose — filing a return, claiming a refund on U.S.‑source income, or claiming a treaty benefit — and you're not eligible for a Social Security Number, you generally need an ITIN. Not sure? Start the free eligibility check and we'll confirm.
How long does an ITIN take?
The IRS advises allowing about 7 weeks to be notified of your ITIN status, and 9–11 weeks during tax season (January 15–April 30) or if you apply from abroad. These are IRS timelines and can vary; we keep you updated throughout. (Source: IRS.gov, retrieved Aug 2026.)
What documents do I need?
A valid passport is the only stand‑alone document — with it, nothing else is required. Without a passport, you'll provide two documents: one proving identity and one proving foreign status, at least one with a photo. Start the form and we'll confirm exactly what works for you.
Do I have to mail my original passport to the IRS?
No. As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, we certify your identity documents as part of the process, so you won't need to mail your original passport to the IRS.
What can I use an ITIN for?
An ITIN is for U.S. federal tax purposes — filing returns, claiming refunds or treaty benefits, and being reported on U.S. tax filings. It does not authorize work in the U.S., nor provide immigration status or Social Security eligibility.
Is the whole process online?
Yes. We handle your ITIN application securely and remotely — no office visit required.
