ITIN Number Services

It should be noted that not all individuals are eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN) but they still have to fulfill their tax obligations. And this is the purpose of the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

The ITIN, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, is a tax processing number used by the IRS. These specific numeric codes allow people to pay taxes even if they are ineligible for SSNs at any immigration status level. Under this concept, the following may need to obtain the ITIN for their US tax obligations:

  • Non-Residents and Resident Aliens: If they are ineligible for an SSN but need to file taxes.
  • Foreign Nationals: Individuals who earn income in the US from sources like investments or business ventures.
  • Relative/Spouse: An individual who is a dependent or spouse of a US taxpayer will likely require an ITIN.
  • Non-resident Alien Students: Those who study in the US and with scholarships or stipends report to their controllers.

If you are an individual who needs to get an ITIN, Wasserman CPA is happy to assist you. For over 30 years, Wasserman CPA has offered personalized tax and CPA services to those in South Jersey and beyond.


The Benefits of ITIN

ITIN is a key instrument for tax obligations and access to financial services. The key benefits of ITIN are presented below:

  • Compliance with the Tax Obligations: ITIN permits individuals to fulfill their tax obligations in the US and adhere to the national tax regulations.
  • Tax advantages: You can get certain benefits such as Child Tax Credit (CTC) and education-related tax credits. Aside from that, the ITIN also provides possible savings on the tax return.
  • Income Reporting for Foreign Nationals: Individuals may earn income from investments, rental properties or business ventures, hence, a valid ITIN is necessary for them to be reported.
  • Supporting Dependents and Spouses: In the tax returns, the dependants and spouses can be added. But, ITIN may be applied to other relevant deductions as well.
  • International Students Eligibility: International students may file tax returns using ITIN to be compliant with the applicable IRS regulations since they have taxable scholarships or stipends.
  • Access to Financial Services: Most banks and financial institutions accept ITINs as a valid identification source. This means people can use it to open bank accounts, qualify for loans and use other financial services.

  3. Application: You need to submit a form along with the supporting documents to the IRS.
