6 Simple Steps to Obtaining Your ITIN
Step 1: Determine Eligibility to Apply for ITIN
Before applying for an ITIN, it’s essential to determine your eligibility. If you're a non-resident, a U.S. resident alien, or someone who needs an ITIN to file a U.S. tax return, you may qualify. Our experts will review your situation to ensure you're eligible to apply.
Step 2: Complete IRS Form W-7 Along with the Tax Return (If Required)
To apply for an ITIN, you'll need to complete IRS Form W-7, the official application for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. In some cases, you may also be required to submit a tax return along with the form. We guide you through the completion of this form and ensure all required information is included.
Step 3: Gather Required Documentation
We will help you gather all necessary documents to support your ITIN application. This typically includes:
A valid passport, national ID card, or birth certificate to verify your identity and foreign status.
Any other documents as specified by the IRS depending on your individual circumstances.
Step 4: Submission of Your Application to the IRS
Once the documentation is in order, we submit your completed Form W-7 and any additional paperwork to the IRS on your behalf. Our CAA services streamline this process, ensuring your application is submitted accurately and in compliance with IRS requirements.
Step 5: Receive Your ITIN
After the IRS processes your application, you will receive your ITIN. This can take several weeks, depending on IRS processing times. Our team will keep you informed every step of the way and ensure that your ITIN is issued without unnecessary delays.
Step 6: Renewing or Canceling ITIN
If you need to renew or cancel your ITIN in the future, we can assist you in managing the process. We’ll provide clear instructions and handle all the necessary paperwork to ensure your ITIN remains active or is properly canceled when it is no longer needed.
