Apply for an ITIN (W-7)

Request an individual taxpayer identification number for federal tax purposes.

Take your time

We are not a government agency. We help you understand and prepare. Submit Form W-7 to the IRS: mail it with your federal tax return and identity documents to the IRS ITIN Operation, apply through an IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), or make an appointment at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC).

This is the official form.

Where this goes

Submit Form W-7 to the IRS: mail it with your federal tax return and identity documents to the IRS ITIN Operation, apply through an IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), or make an appointment at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC).

What happens next

The IRS reviews the application and decides. If approved, the IRS mails a letter with your ITIN; if something is missing, it sends a notice asking for more.

TNT does not determine eligibility. Eligibility is decided by the agency after you submit your application.
