What Is An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)?
For the effective assessment of taxes, each individual eligible to pay taxes in the US is allotted a taxpayer identification number (TIN). Usually, your Social Security Number (SSN) is the TIN that you need to provide on all of your tax-related documents like returns, statements, claims, etc. However, if you are not entitled to an (SSN) because you are a resident or non-resident alien in the US, you will need to acquire an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number).
This tax processing number is issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is a nine-digit number that begins with the number nine and has a seven or eight in the fourth digit (for example, 9XX-7X-XXXX). To be eligible for an ITIN you must fall into one of the following categories:
1. Non-resident aliens who are required to file a US tax return
2. US resident aliens who are (based on days present in the US) filing a US tax return
3. Those dependent or spouses of a US citizen or resident alien
What are the benefits of the ITIN?
When you obtain an ITIN:
a. It serves as your identification number for filing your federal taxes.
b. It allows you to get a refund from your income withheld by the IRS if you qualify.
c. It allows you to file your taxes and claim dependents you support in the US, Mexico, or Canada.
d. It also allows you to open a bank account in the US.
