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.
What is ITIN Number?
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 service 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.
