Thanks for your question! If you need to get an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) for U.S. tax purposes, you’ll need to complete IRS Form W-7 and submit it with your federal tax return. You’ll also need documents proving identity and foreign status (for example, a passport). If you’re not eligible to file a return yet but still need an ITIN (for example, if you’re claimed as a dependent), there are specific exceptions — you must qualify under those.

You can mail the application to the address in the instructions or apply in person at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center. If you aren’t filing a return now, see the Form W-7 exceptions on the IRS site for other qualifying reasons.

Hi there! My name is Gagan, CPA — happy to assist. 

I am non-US resident and I have an LLC under my name — so how can I get an ITIN?
