If you live or work in the United States but aren’t eligible for a Social Security Number, you may need an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) to file your taxes. Whether you’re an individual, a dependent, or a business owner, getting an ITIN ensures you can stay compliant with the IRS and receive any tax refunds you may be entitled to.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to apply for an ITIN in Tampa and how SantaTaxes can help you every step of the way.
An ITIN is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS for people who aren’t eligible for a Social Security Number but still need to file a tax return. ITINs are often used by:
•Non-resident aliens
•Foreign nationals working or investing in the U.S.
•Dependents or spouses of U.S. citizens or residents
•Immigrants who are not yet eligible for an SSN
Having an ITIN helps you file taxes, open bank accounts, and stay compliant with federal tax law.
To apply for an ITIN, you’ll need the following:
•Completed Form W-7
•A valid passport or two other forms of approved ID (such as a national ID and birth certificate)
•A federal tax return, unless you qualify for an exception
Make sure your documents are original or certified copies from the issuing agency — the IRS won’t accept simple photocopies.
1. Fill out IRS Form W-7 – You can download this form from the IRS website or get help from a tax professional.
2.Gather your identification documents – Ensure they’re valid and current.
3.Submit your application – Either by mailing everything directly to the IRS or by working with a Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) like SantaTaxes.
