The ITIN is only available to individuals who are required to have a taxpayer identification number f tax purposes but who do not have, are not eligible to obtain a SSN from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Only individuals who have a valid filing requirement are filing a U.S. Federal income tax return to claim a refund of over-withheld tax are eligible to receive an ITIN. Generally a U.S. Federal income tax return must accompany the ITIN application, unless the individual meets one of the exceptions. (See Exceptions ).

ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident nonresident aliens may have United States Federal tax filing payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code. What is the purpose of an ITIN? ITINs are used f tax purposes only, are not intended to serve any other purpose. IRS issues ITINs to help individuals comply with the U.S. tax laws, to provide a means to efficiently process account f tax returns payments f those not eligible f Social Security Numbers. An ITIN: 1. Does not authize wk in the U.S. provide eligibility f Social Security Benefits the Earned Income Tax Credit. 2. Is not valid f identification outside of the tax system. 3. Does not change immigration status. An applicant must enter his/her ITIN in the space provided f the SSN when completing filing a U.S. Federal income tax return (Fm 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ, 1040X). Note: When applying f an ITIN f the purpose of filing a valid U.S. Federal income tax return, the applicant is required to file the tax return with the Fm W-7/W-7(SP) application unless specifically meeting an exception to the tax return requirement. (See Exceptions ). When did IRS start issuing ITINs why? In 1996, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued regulations that introduced the ITIN, required feign persons to use an ITIN as their unique identification number on Federal tax returns (T.D. 8671, 1996-1 C.B.314). The regulations were intended to address the concern by the IRS the U.S. Department of the Treasury that, without a unique number, taxpayers could not be identified effectively tax returns could not be processed efficiently. Are ITINs valid f identification? ITINs are not valid f identification outside of the tax system should not be offered as identification f non-tax purposes. ITIN applicants are not required to apply in person. How do I know if I need an ITIN?

An alien individual cannot have both an ITIN a SSN. If you are eligible f a SSN, you must first apply f one. Persons eligible to receive a Social Security Number are not eligible to receive an ITIN. Treasury regulations governing Internal Revenue Code Section 6109 require a valid taxpayer identification number f each person listed on the tax return. If the Social Security Administration denies the applicant s request f a SSN they will issue a letter of denial. That letter must be attached to the Fm W-7 when it is submitted to the IRS. Note: Although most applicants are required to file their U.S. Federal income tax return by attaching it to Fm W-7/W-7(SP), there are exceptions to this requirement. (See Exceptions ). Who Must Apply? Any individual who is not eligible to obtain a SSN but who must furnish a taxpayer identification number to the IRS must apply f an ITIN on Fm W-7/W-7(SP).
