An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is an identification number issued by the IRS for individuals not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN) but required to pay U.S. taxes.
ITIN is only for foreign nationals and others who have federal tax filing or reporting requirements but do not qualify for a Social Security Number (SSN). Examples include:
Non-U.S. citizens who do not qualify for an SSN
Non-U.S. resident aliens required to file a U.S. tax return
U.S. resident aliens filing a U.S. tax return
Dependents / spouses of U.S. citizens or resident aliens
Dependents / spouses of non-U.S. resident alien visa holders
Once you submit your application through an ITIN application service, the IRS usually processes it within 8–13 weeks.
Expired ITINs must be renewed to file taxes and avoid processing delays. This applies to all ITIN holders, including those with an ITIN number for child or ITIN number for spouse.
No, an ITIN does not authorize employment. It is solely for tax purposes.
Find out which Tax ID is right for you:
Yes. When you apply through an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA), you submit a scanned copy of your passport online. The CAA certifies your documents in-house. Your original passport never leaves you.
The IRS does not offer a direct online application portal. You can apply by mail, visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center, or use an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent. The CAA route is the only fully online option for international applicants.
House of Bookkeepers offers Standard ITIN preparation at $297 and Priority preparation at $397. The IRS does not charge a fee for the ITIN itself. CAA fees cover document certification, W-7 preparation, shipment cost and IRS submission.
HOB prepares your application in 1 to 7 business days. The IRS then processes it in 7 to 11 weeks during standard periods, or 9 to 13 weeks during peak tax season from January 15 to April 30.
