How do I obtain an ITIN?
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.

I need to get an ITIN.
Have you already consulted with a lawyer regarding this matter?
No.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with obtaining an ITIN.
I don't know.
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?
