ITIN application assistance
Apply for an ITIN from outside the United States
Need an ITIN for a U.S. federal tax purpose? EZTAXACT helps non-U.S. residents prepare Form W-7, review supporting documents and coordinate a U.S. tax return when required. Start by telling us your country of residence and the tax matter behind your application.
An ITIN is for individuals who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number for federal tax purposes and are not eligible for a Social Security number. Your filing situation determines whether an application is appropriate. Owning a U.S. LLC alone does not establish that you need an ITIN.
Our assistance covers application preparation, document guidance and filing-path review. The IRS decides whether to issue an ITIN. Review the IRS ITIN eligibility guidance, our ITIN application document guide and service fees before proceeding.
Pricing and timing
ITIN Application Service Pricing
Clear pricing from an IRS-listed Certifying Acceptance Agent. Your service includes Form W-7 preparation, passport review and mailing. Tax return preparation, if you need it, is a separate service. We will ask about it in the portal. Has your ITIN expired? See ITIN renewal.
Standard service
$199
Application prepared and mailed within 14 days.
Expedited service
$250 total
Application prepared and mailed within 5 days.
These times cover our work up to mailing your application. IRS processing is separate. The IRS says to allow 7 weeks for notice of your application status, or 9 to 11 weeks from January 15 through April 30 or if you are filing from overseas. See the IRS Form W-7 instructions.
“I required their services for my ITIN and they handled everything…”

Start with your situation
Need help applying for an ITIN from outside the U.S.?
Tell us where you live, whether this is a new application or renewal, and what U.S. tax matter you need help with. We can then discuss the service, document review and filing support that fits your case.
1. Tell us what you need
Include your country of residence and whether your enquiry concerns an ITIN, a nonresident tax return, or a foreign-owned U.S. business.
2. Review the service and fees
Ask what is included, whether tax-return preparation is separate, and which documents will be needed before you proceed.
3. Agree on the next step
Start your enquiry through our secure portal. Please keep passport numbers, tax IDs and document scans out of your initial enquiry.
Application Planning
A clear path for your ITIN application
Every case has its own tax purpose and document requirements. We review those details first, then guide the application through the filing route that fits.
Confirm the tax purpose
We clarify why you need a U.S. tax ID and review whether your situation may support an ITIN application.
Select the filing route
We determine whether Form W-7 should accompany a federal tax return or whether an exception may apply.
Review the documents
We check the applicable identity and supporting documents for completeness and consistency.
Prepare next steps
We organize the application package and can help review IRS correspondence if follow-up is needed.
ITIN Eligibility Situations
Who May Need an ITIN?
An ITIN is a federal tax-processing number for individuals who need U.S. taxpayer identification but are not eligible for a Social Security number. The correct filing path depends on the taxpayer’s facts and U.S. tax purpose.
Nonresident U.S. Taxpayer
You need a U.S. taxpayer identification number to file a federal tax return but are not eligible for a Social Security number.
Spouse or Dependent
A spouse or dependent may need an ITIN when a U.S. federal tax filing position requires taxpayer identification.
Foreign Investor or Business Owner
You have U.S. tax reporting connected with property, investments, business ownership, or other U.S.-source activity.
Other IRS Tax Purpose
An ITIN may be needed for a qualifying federal tax reporting purpose even when a standard individual income tax return is not the filing path.

Document Preparation
What You May Need for an ITIN Application
The exact documents depend on the applicant’s tax purpose and filing method. We review the facts before the package is finalized so unnecessary or inappropriate documents are not requested.
Start your ITIN application- Completed ITIN application information
- Valid identification documentation appropriate to the filing path
- U.S. federal tax return when required
- Foreign and U.S. mailing address information
- Relevant U.S. tax statements or supporting tax documents
- Exception documentation when a tax-return exception is being claimed
Do not send original identity documents to EZTAXACT unless you have specifically been instructed how they will be handled.
A Clear Filing Workflow
How the ITIN Application Process Works
Our process is designed to reduce avoidable inconsistencies and keep the ITIN application aligned with the underlying U.S. tax filing requirement.
- 01
Initial Review
We identify why the ITIN is needed and whether the application is tied to a federal tax return or another permitted filing path.
- 02
Document Review
Identification and supporting documents are reviewed for completeness and consistency before the filing package is finalized.
- 03
Tax Return Coordination
When a federal tax return is required, the return and ITIN application are prepared to work together as one submission.
- 04
Application Package
The Form W-7 filing package is organized for the appropriate IRS submission method.
- 05
IRS Processing
The IRS reviews the application. If correspondence is issued, we can help interpret what additional response may be needed.
Identity Documentation
Careful Review Before Your ITIN Package Is Submitted
Names, dates, identification documents, mailing addresses, and tax-return information must be consistent across an ITIN filing package. Our review focuses on catching mismatches before submission and explaining the documentation route that applies to the applicant.
Avoidable Filing Problems
Common ITIN Application Issues
Many delays start with incomplete, inconsistent, or incorrectly coordinated application information. These are some of the areas we review closely.
Name or Date Mismatch
Differences between identification documents, tax records, or application details can cause processing problems.
Missing Supporting Documentation
The IRS may request additional documentation if the original filing package does not support the application route.
Expired ITIN
An ITIN that has expired may need renewal before it can be used effectively on a current federal tax filing.
Tax Return Filing Issue
The ITIN application and tax return must be coordinated correctly when the return is the basis for the application.
Address or Mailing Issue
Foreign and U.S. mailing information should be complete and consistent so IRS correspondence reaches the applicant.
IRS Correspondence
A notice may require a focused response rather than a completely new application.

ITIN Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About ITIN Applications
What is an ITIN?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is a tax-processing number issued by the IRS to certain individuals who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number for federal tax purposes but are not eligible for a Social Security number.
Does an ITIN authorize me to work in the United States?
No. An ITIN is for federal tax processing. It does not itself provide work authorization or immigration status.
Do I need to file a U.S. tax return with Form W-7?
Many ITIN applications are submitted with a U.S. federal tax return, but some applications may qualify for an exception. The correct path depends on the applicant’s tax purpose and supporting documentation.
Can EZTAXACT help if I live outside the United States?
Yes. ITIN and related U.S. tax consultations can be handled remotely for international clients, subject to the documentation and filing method appropriate to the case.
Can you help with an expired ITIN?
Yes. We can review whether an ITIN renewal is needed in connection with the taxpayer’s current federal filing situation.
What happens if the IRS sends a letter about my ITIN application?
The appropriate response depends on what the IRS is requesting. We can review the notice and help identify the information or corrective action that may be needed.
