ITIN Filing FAQ’s
Common Questions on ITIN filing.
Who needs an ITIN?
You typically need an ITIN if you have a federal tax filing or reporting requirement and do not qualify for an SSN. Common examples include non-resident aliens filing a U.S. tax return, foreign investors with U.S. income, and spouses or dependents of U.S. citizens or resident aliens.
How do I apply for an ITIN?
You must complete IRS Form W-7 and submit it along with your federal income tax return and documents to prove your identity and foreign status.
Why should I use a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) like Redeem Tax?
As a CAA, we are authorized to verify your original identification documents (like your passport) so you do not have to mail them to the IRS. We provide a Certificate of Accuracy (COA) that the IRS accepts in place of your original records.
How long does it take to receive my ITIN?
The IRS generally takes 7 to 11 weeks to process an application. During peak tax season (January–April), processing times may be longer.
Is a passport mandatory for the application?
While a passport is the only document that can prove both identity and foreign status on its own, it is not mandatory. If you do not have a passport, you must provide at least two other IRS-approved documents, such as a national ID card or a civil birth certificate.
Does my ITIN expire?
Yes. An ITIN will expire if it is not used on a federal tax return at least once in the last three consecutive tax years.
