How to apply Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a unique identifier for tax purposes provided by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). ITINs are allocated to individuals who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number but cannot acquire or qualify for a Social Security number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
To apply, submit Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), along with your federal income tax return. It's essential to include original documents or certified copies from the relevant authority to verify your identity and foreign status.
