What is an ITIN?

If you are a non-U.S. citizen conducting business in the United States, you may be familiar with the term ITIN and its essential role in your tax responsibilities. The Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a unique identifier issued by the IRS specifically for individuals who need to file taxes but are unable to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN).

While U.S. citizens receive their SSNs from the Social Security Administration (SSA) for tax purposes, non-citizens without access to an SSN must secure an ITIN to ensure compliance with tax regulations. This number is crucial for fulfilling your tax obligations effectively.

MORE ABOUT ITIN

Why do you need an ITIN?

ITINs are essential for individuals who cannot obtain Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and need to file taxes. With an ITIN, non-residents earning taxable income can easily adhere to U.S. tax regulations, helping them avoid penalties.

Moreover, having an ITIN is necessary for various financial activities, such as opening a U.S. bank account, setting up accounts with payment platforms like PayPal and Stripe, filing tax returns, or establishing a credit score as a non-U.S. resident.

It’s important to note that ITINs are issued exclusively for tax purposes. They do not grant eligibility for other benefits, such as employment in the U.S., Social Security, or any Earned Income Tax Credits.

Top 3 Reasons to Use a CAA to Get Your ITIN

NO Need to Send Original Documents

Without a CAA, proof of identity and foreign status must be sent to the IRS. This means that you would be mailing your passport to the Texas IRS office.
This will take weeks to process, and it will be risky and dangerous to put important documents like your passport in the mail.
As CAA’s, we are certified and trained by the IRS to certify your identification documents ourselves, thus removing the need for you to send to the IRS.

Dedicated Support Line Directly To the IRS

We have a dedicated support line directly to the IRS, as well as a direct email contact with the ITIN office in Texas.
An individual taxpayer does not have this and would have to correspond by mail, which would lengthen the process significantly if any issues arose in the ITIN process.

NOT Waste Time Dealing With Complicated Paperwork

Over 1,000+ successfully assigned ITINs with over 98% success rate, At SMG, CAA will do ALL the work for you until you successfully get your assigned ITIN.
