Número de identificación del contribuyente del IRS (ITIN)
What it is and what it’s for
The ITIN is a nine-digit number the IRS issues so people without an SSN can file and pay taxes. It does not grant immigration status or work authorization.
How to apply
Fill out Form W-7 and attach it to your tax return, along with documents proving your identity. A Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) can help you without mailing your originals.
