The ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a tax processing number issued by the IRS for
individuals who are not eligible for a Social Security number.
A tax number for people who must file U.S. taxes but don't qualify for a Social Security number.
The ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a nine-digit number issued by the IRS so that
people who are not eligible for a Social Security number can meet their federal tax obligations in the
United States. It does not authorize work, does not grant Social Security benefits, and does not change
your immigration status: its only purpose is federal tax filing.
Why it matters to get it rightYour ITIN is the gateway to tax credits, bank accounts, and processes that depend on your history with the IRS.
With a valid ITIN you can file taxes correctly, claim tax credits you qualify for, open certain bank
accounts, support immigration processes that require tax history, and avoid penalties for not filing. A
poorly filed or expired ITIN can cause your entire return to be rejected.
