An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a number from the IRS for people who need to pay taxes or handle financial matters in the U.S. but do not qualify for a Social Security Number.
Who Needs an ITIN?
Immigrants without a Social Security Number
Spouses or children of U.S. citizens or residents who don’t qualify for an SSN
Business owners who want to form an LLC or open a bank account
Anyone who needs to file U.S. taxes legally without an SSN
Why an ITIN Matters
An ITIN lets you:
File taxes legally with the IRS
Receive tax refunds if you qualify
Start and grow a business in the U.S.
Open bank accounts and build credit
Show responsibility that can support future immigration applications

Why Acting Quickly Matters
The IRS requires you to file your taxes on time, and delays can lead to penalties such as fines and interest on unpaid taxes.
Immigration cases may require proof of tax compliance, and not having an ITIN can complicate your application.
Starting a business or opening financial accounts is difficult without an ITIN.
Getting your ITIN as soon as possible lets you take control of your taxes, finances, and future.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get an ITIN?
Usually 6–10 weeks, though processing times can vary. As a Certified Acceptance Agent, we help avoid common delays.
Can I get an ITIN if I’m undocumented?
Yes. ITINs are available regardless of immigration status.
Will applying for an ITIN put me at risk with immigration?
It depends. The IRS will share ITIN information with immigration enforcement in limited circumstances, such as for individuals with criminal records or financial removal orders. It’s important to discuss potential issues with us before deciding to proceed. However, filing taxes is also a legal requirement. Failure to do so is also a risk.
Do I need an ITIN if I’m married to a U.S. citizen?
Yes. If you don’t qualify for a Social Security Number, you need an ITIN to file taxes jointly.
Can an ITIN help me get a green card?
No. However, filing taxes with an ITIN can support your case by showing responsibility and compliance with U.S. law.
