Apply for your ITIN together with your tax return
Most first-time ITIN applications are sent to the IRS attached to a federal tax return. We prepare both so they reach the IRS as one complete package.
- W-7 plus Form 1040-NR or 1040
- For non-residents with US income
When the W-7 and return go together
US income to report
Non-residents with US-source income, such as from a US business or rental property.
Spouse or dependent claims
Applicants listed on a US citizen’s or resident’s return.
Treaty benefits
Non-residents claiming a reduced rate under a US tax treaty.
One package, two documents
Review your income
We look at your US income and decide which return applies.
Prepare the return
Form 1040-NR or 1040, with the ITIN field left for the IRS.
Prepare Form W-7
Matched to the reason that fits your situation.
Send together
The W-7, return and ID documents go to the IRS as one package.
IRS processes both
The IRS assigns the ITIN, then processes the return.
Exception cases
Some applicants can apply without a tax return under specific IRS exceptions, such as certain treaty or withholding situations. We check whether one applies to you.
