ITIN Applications Handled Correctly.
The IRS Wants Your Passport.
We Can Stop That.
Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers for non-citizens, non-residents, and dependents - applied for correctly the first time.
Most applicants don't know they have a choice. As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, we certify your identity documents right here in our office - so your passport never leaves your hands.
An ITIN isn't complicated when you work with someone who does this correctly the first time. One rejection costs you months. One wrong document costs you months. We've done this before. We'll do it right.
Never mail your original passport to the IRS. Working with a Certifying Acceptance Agent means we certify your documents on-site. Your passport stays with you. Your application goes in correctly.
Getting It Wrong Isn't
Just Frustrating. It's Expensive.
The IRS rejects thousands of ITIN applications every year - not because the applicants weren't eligible, but because the paperwork was wrong, the documentation was incomplete, or the original passport was mailed in and is now sitting in an IRS facility while the applicant waits weeks to get it back. Meanwhile, tax deadlines pass, refunds are delayed, and dependents can't be claimed. All of it preventable.
Every one of those problems is the result of doing the application without proper guidance. With a Certifying Acceptance Agent, the documentation is reviewed before it's submitted, your identity is certified on-site, and the accompanying tax return is prepared correctly as part of the same process. The first submission is the right one. That's the difference.
Who Needs an ITIN -
and Why It Can't Wait
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is required for anyone who has a U.S. tax obligation but is not eligible for a Social Security Number. If any of the following describes your situation, you need an ITIN - and the time to apply is before your tax deadline, not after.
Non-resident aliens with U.S. income
If you earned income in the U.S. - wages, rental income, interest - you have a filing obligation even if you don't live here.
Foreign nationals ineligible for an SSN
Visa holders and foreign nationals who are not authorized to work in the U.S. cannot get a Social Security Number - but may still owe taxes.
Dependents of U.S. citizens or residents
Foreign-born children being claimed on a U.S. return need their own ITIN - even if they've never set foot in the country.
Non-citizen spouses on a joint return
If your spouse doesn't have an SSN and you want to file jointly - or claim them as a dependent - they need an ITIN first.
Individuals with an expiring ITIN
ITINs that haven't been used in three consecutive years, or issued before 2013 under certain middle digits, expire and must be renewed before filing.
Foreign investors with U.S. rental or investment income
U.S. rental income, dividends, and capital gains create filing obligations for foreign nationals - and those returns require an ITIN.
We're a Certifying Acceptance Agent.
That Changes Everything.
A Certifying Acceptance Agent is authorized by the IRS to review and certify identity documents on-site. That means we examine your original passport, certify a copy, and submit the certification with your W-7 - and your passport never leaves your possession. Most applicants don't know this is even an option.
How the Process Works
Every ITIN Situation,
Handled Completely
ITIN situations are not one-size-fits-all. A foreign investor's application looks nothing like a dependent child's application. We prepare the right documents for your exact situation - and prepare the accompanying return as part of the same process.
