What Is an ITIN and Why Do You Need One?

If you're a non-U.S. resident or an individual who doesn't qualify for a Social Security Number (SSN) but need to file taxes in the United States, you'll likely need an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). This IRS-issued number is vital for meeting tax obligations, accessing financial services, and conducting U.S.-based business.

What is an ITIN?

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a nine-digit number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It’s designed for individuals who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number but are not eligible for a Social Security Number.

 

Who Needs an ITIN?

You may need an ITIN if you fall into any of these categories:

  • ✅ Non-U.S. residents required to file a U.S. federal tax return

  • ✅ Foreign investors in U.S. real estate or companies

  • ✅ Spouses and dependents of U.S. citizens or green card holders

  • ✅ International students with taxable income

  • ✅ Freelancers and self-employed individuals earning U.S.-sourced income

 

Why Is an ITIN Important?

An ITIN is essential for both tax compliance and financial access in the U.S. Here’s why you might need one:

  • 📌 File U.S. Taxes – Required to file federal tax returns if you're not eligible for an SSN

  • 📌 Claim Tax Refunds and Credits – ITINs help you access benefits like the Child Tax Credit

  • 📌 Open a U.S. Bank Account – Some financial institutions accept ITINs for account setup

  • 📌 Conduct U.S. Business – Enables foreign nationals to operate businesses or receive payments

  • 📌 Support Immigration Applications – Frequently used in visa and residency processes
