What is an ITIN?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but do not have, and are not eligible to obtain, a Social Security Number (SSN).
Who Needs an ITIN?
ITINs are essential for non-resident and resident aliens, their spouses, and dependents who cannot get an SSN. This includes individuals who need to file a U.S. tax return, claim tax treaty benefits, or meet other tax compliance requirements.
Benefits for Tax Purposes
An ITIN allows you to comply with U.S. tax laws, file a tax return, and potentially claim important tax credits like the Child Tax Credit. It also establishes a record of tax filing and payment, which can be valuable for immigration and financial history.

Important to Know
An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S., provide eligibility for Social Security benefits, or change your immigration status. It is issued strictly for federal tax reporting purposes. ITINs must be renewed if not used on a tax return for three consecutive years.
