An ITIN, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, is a unique number assigned by the IRS to individuals who are required to have a taxpayer identification number but do not have, or are not eligible to obtain, a Social Security number. An ITIN is used to file taxes, and it’s important to have one if you want to claim certain tax credits or deductions.

What is an ITIN and Why Do You Need One?

  • An ITIN, or Individual Tax Identification Number, is a unique number issued by the IRS to individuals who are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN).
  • ITINs are used for tax purposes, and are required for individuals who are required to file taxes in the United States, regardless of immigration status.
  • If you are a resident or non-resident alien and need to file taxes, you will need to apply for an ITIN in order to do so.

Eligibility Requirements for Applying for an ITIN

To be eligible for an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), you must meet certain requirements as established by the IRS. Here are the eligibility requirements for applying for an ITIN:
  • You must be a resident or non-resident who is not eligible to obtain a Social Security number. This includes foreign nationals and non-resident aliens who are required to file a U.S. tax return or who are claiming certain tax credits or deductions.
  • You must have a valid reason for needing an ITIN. This includes filing a tax return, claiming a tax credit or deduction, or being listed as a dependent on a tax return.
  • You must submit a valid Form W-7 (Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) along with your application.
  • You must provide proof of your identity and foreign status. This may include a passport, birth certificate, or national identification card.
  • You must provide any additional documents required by the IRS, such as a tax return or a letter from the IRS.
It’s important to note that if you are a non-resident alien, you may be subject to different tax laws and rates, and that a certified acceptance agent can assist you with understanding these laws and rates, as well as help you with the process of obtaining an ITIN.
It’s also important to note that ITINs issued before 2013 that haven’t been used on a federal tax return at least once in the last three consecutive years will no longer be valid for use on a federal tax return. And any ITINs issued before 2013 with middle digits of “78” or “79” will no longer be valid for use on a federal tax return.
