Individual Taxpayer Identification Number

What is an ITIN?

An ITIN is a nine-digit number issued by the IRS to individuals, regardless of immigration status, who are not eligible for a Social Security Number but still need to file a tax return or meet other tax-related obligations.

You might need an ITIN if you’re:

  • A non-resident or resident alien with a requirement to file a U.S. tax return.
  • A dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen/resident alien.
  • A non-resident alien claiming a tax treaty benefit.
  • A foreign national with a requirement to file a tax return.

Why Use a Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA)?

The Internal Revenue Service authorizes a Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) to review and authenticate your documents.

  • Utilizing a CAA is essential because it means that the CAA reviews and verifies the authenticity of all of your documents. Once the CAA completes this step, the CAA takes the necessary copies of all the documents and mails the copies to the IRS. You can keep all your identification documents, such as your passport, in your possession. You do not need to send your original documents, such as your passport and birth certificates, to the IRS.
  • We’ll ensure your documents are accurate and up to date and handle the entire application process for you.
  • If there are any issues, we’ll contact the IRS. Our goal is to ensure your application is error-free and processed smoothly.
  • We’re always up to date with IRS rules and can give you personalized advice.
  • Plus, you won’t have to deal with the IRS directly - we’ll handle all communication on your behalf.
