ITIN Number

ITIN Number — Tax ID (with your tax return included)

The ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is the tax ID the IRS issues to people who must file U.S.

The situation

Does this sound familiar?

You need to file taxes, build your tax history, include your spouse or dependents on a return, or meet a bank requirement — but you have no Social Security number. The application itself is free with the IRS, but it has a practical trap: the W-7 almost never travels alone. Without the attached return (or the documentation for one of the official exceptions), the IRS rejects the application and you start over, losing weeks. And an honest warning: nobody can "expedite" an ITIN or guarantee it — if someone promises that for an extra fee, it is a red flag.

The ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is the tax ID the IRS issues to people who must file U.S. taxes but do not qualify for a Social Security number. It is requested with Form W-7 and, in most cases, the IRS requires the application to be ACCOMPANIED by your federal tax return — they travel together in the same package. That is why our solution includes both: we prepare your W-7 and your return (1040 or 1040-NR) so the package goes out complete and correct the first time. Important: the IRS charges NOTHING to issue an ITIN — the government application is free.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Nothing: the IRS application is free. Our fee, from $300 per person, covers preparing the application and the tax return that goes with it.

Because in most cases the IRS requires the ITIN application to be filed with the federal return: they travel together. Without it, or without documentation for one of the official exceptions, it is rejected.

The IRS responds in about 7 weeks; 9 to 11 if you apply between January 15 and April 30, or from abroad.

There are three ways to file: by mail, at an IRS center or at a VITA site. We explain which one fits your case and how to keep your passport.

No. Nobody can speed it up or guarantee it: the IRS sets the timelines. If someone promises that for an extra fee, it is a red flag.

No. For immigration matters we prepare forms and documents: we organize and prepare your documentation with method. We do not give legal advice or represent you before USCIS. If your case needs a legal determination, a licensed immigration attorney makes it, not us.

No, and no honest provider can: the decision belongs to the authority reviewing your case. What we do stand behind is our work: a complete, organized file reviewed before it is filed.
