ITIN Services
What is an ITIN
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number lets people who are not eligible for an SSN file U.S. taxes and comply with IRS rules. To get an ITIN eligible individuals must apply with Form W-7 and required ID.
Who needs an ITIN
- Nonresident or resident aliens who must file a U.S. tax return
- Spouses and dependents who need to be listed on a return or claim a tax benefit
- Other foreign persons who must furnish a TIN for federal tax purposes
See Form W-7 instructions for categories.
Work with a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA)
As a CAA, we verify identity and foreign status, complete Form W-7, and attach a required Certificate of Accuracy (Form W-7(COA)). This lets most applicants avoid mailing original passports to the IRS.
What a CAA can do
- Review original IDs or certified copies from the issuing agency and certify they were reviewed (via Form W-7(COA)).
- Submit the W-7 package to the IRS with the COA.
- For dependents: authenticate the passport and civil birth certificate; other documents for dependents must be sent to IRS as originals or issuing-agency certified copies.
What a CAA cannot do
- Issue an ITIN or guarantee approval or timing. Only the IRS issues ITINs.
- Bypass documentation rules in the W-7 instructions (acceptable ID list, residency proofs, entry dates for some dependents).
- For dependents, certify documents other than the passport and civil birth certificate; other dependent documents must go to the IRS.
- Treat applicants who qualify for an SSN; those must apply with SSA, not for an ITIN.
- Submit ITIN applications for those who are not eligible.
Our process
- Determine eligibility and ITIN category
- Verify identity/foreign status and prepare W-7 + COA
- Assemble tax return (if already prepared by your CPA) or exception documents
- Submit to IRS and provide tracking guidance
- Follow up on IRS correspondence
Fees
This is a paid service billed at our hourly rates. Total cost depends on the work required for each applicant and case complexity. Out-of-pocket expenses (postage/courier, copying, and similar) are reimbursed at cost. The IRS does not set agent fees; fees vary by provider.
Timing
IRS processing times vary by season and backlog. We prepare a complete file to reduce rejections, but issuance is the IRS’s decision.
