What is an ITIN?
If you are a non-resident and not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN), you will need an ITIN to stay compliant with U.S. tax laws. An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is issued by the IRS and is used to identify individuals for tax purposes. It’s essential if you earn income in the United States through business ownership, investments, or rental property.
The ITIN allows you to file federal tax returns, report income, and fulfill your tax responsibilities legally. Without an ITIN, non-residents cannot properly report earnings or benefit from tax treaties. It’s a critical requirement for doing business in the U.S., even if you don’t live there full-time.
Why is an ITIN Necessary?
Fulfill U.S. Tax Obligations
Non-residents and foreign individuals who earn income from U.S. sources are often required to file a tax return with the IRS. An ITIN allows you to comply with U.S. tax laws, even if you are not eligible for a Social Security Number.
Claim Tax Treaty Benefits
With an ITIN, you may be able to take advantage of tax treaties between your country and the United States, potentially reducing the amount of tax you owe.
Open a U.S. Bank Account
Many U.S. banks require an ITIN when opening a personal or business bank account for foreign individuals.
Receive Tax Refunds
If you overpaid taxes or qualify for certain credits, an ITIN enables the IRS to process and send your refund.
Support for Visa or Residency Applications
Some U.S. visa or residency processes may require proof of tax compliance. An ITIN can be part of that documentation.
