What is an ITIN? Why Do You Need One?

If you are a non-U.S. resident or an individual who does not qualify for a Social Security Number (SSN) but need to file taxes in the United States, you may require an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). This IRS-issued number is essential for tax compliance, financial transactions, and more.
At TAXtical LLC, we specialize in ITIN application services and are an IRS-authorized Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA). Our expertise allows us to streamline the process, helping clients obtain their ITINs quickly and securely.
What is an ITIN?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a nine-digit tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is designed for individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but do not qualify for an SSN.
Who Needs an ITIN?
You may need an ITIN if you fall under any of the following categories:
✅ Non-U.S. residents required to file a U.S. tax return.
✅ Foreign investors in U.S. real estate or businesses.
✅ Dependents or spouses of U.S. citizens or resident aliens.
✅ International students with tax obligations.
✅ Self-employed individuals without an SSN but earning U.S.-sourced income.
Why Do You Need an ITIN?
Having an ITIN is crucial for various financial and legal reasons:
📌 Filing U.S. Taxes – Required to report income and comply with IRS regulations.
📌 Claiming Tax Benefits – Enables access to potential tax refunds and credits.
📌 Opening a U.S. Bank Account – Some banks allow ITIN holders to open accounts.
📌 Engaging in Business Transactions – Essential for non-U.S. entrepreneurs and freelancers.
📌 Supporting Immigration Applications – Used in financial documentation for visa and residency processes.
