What is an ITIN?
Understanding Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It's a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a range of 50-65, 70-88, 90-92, and 94-99 for the fourth and fifth digits (example: 9XX-XX-XXXX).
Who Needs an ITIN?
- Business owners who need to file U.S. tax returns but don't have a Social Security Number
- Foreign nationals required to file U.S. tax returns
- Dependents or spouses of U.S. citizens or residents
- Non-resident aliens filing a U.S. tax return
- Individuals claiming tax treaty benefits
Important Note
ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status. They are solely for tax purposes and allow individuals to comply with U.S. tax laws. An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits.
