What is an ITIN?
ITIN stands for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. The IRS gives it to people who need to file or report US taxes but cannot get a Social Security Number. It is a personal number, not a company number.
Who needs an ITIN
| Person | Why |
|---|---|
| Foreign owners of a US LLC | To file a personal US tax return when one is required. |
| Sellers and freelancers | Some payment platforms ask for an ITIN or SSN to verify the account owner. |
| People with US income | To report income and claim tax treaty benefits. |
| Partners in a US partnership | To receive and report their share of income. |
The IRS only issues an ITIN when there is a valid tax reason. We check your case first. If you do not qualify, we tell you before you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does an ITIN allow me to work in the USA?
No. An ITIN is only for tax purposes. It does not give work rights or change your immigration status.
Do I have to send my original passport?
No. Your passport is verified through an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent, so your original passport stays with you.
Does an ITIN expire?
An ITIN expires if it is not used on a US federal tax return for three years in a row. It can be renewed.

Yes, if you have another valid tax reason. Contact us and we will check your case.
