Individual Taxpayer Identification Number - ITIN

The ITIN is a tax processing number issued by the IRS. The ITIN is for non resident and resident aliens, their spouses and dependents. The IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have an tax payer number, but who can not get a Social Security Number (SSN). This will help people comply with US tax laws, and supply a means for completing tax returns. They are issued regardless of immigration status, because both resident and non resident aliens have responsibilities to the IRS. ITINs do not perform any other purpose other than tax reporting.

You need an ITIN for

Non Resident Alien who is required to file US taxes
US Resident Alien filing tax return
Dependent or Spouse of US citizen or Resident Alien
Dependent or Spouse of Non Resident Alien visa holder
Non Resident Alien claiming a tax treaty benefit
Non Resident Alien student, professor or researcher, filing taxes or claiming exemption

The ITIN does not

Authorize work in the US
Provide eligibility for Social Security Benefits
Qualify a dependent for Earned Income Tax Credit purposes
