How It Works

Watch a full ITIN application from start to finish

  1. Step 1: Check Eligibility with AI. Answer a few questions and our AI determines your ITIN eligibility, the right reason code, and which documents you need.
  2. Step 2: Upload Documents. The IRS requires proof of identity and foreign status. Upload them securely to us through our guided process.
  3. Step 3: CAA Identity Verification. We authenticate your supporting documents and perform the IRS-required identification verification — in person or by video from anywhere.
  4. Step 4: Print & Sign Documents. Review your completed W‑7 application package, print the forms, and sign where required.
  5. Step 5: Mail to Our Office. Mail your originally signed document and passport to our office. We return originals via tracked courier once ID verification is complete.
  6. Step 6: Receive ITIN Number. As your CAA, we get a copy of your ITIN approval notice faster and will send you your ITIN number right away — no waiting for regular mail.

Why a Certifying Acceptance Agent matters

The same application, handled two very different ways

Filing on your own

  • Mail your original passport to the IRS and wait for its return
  • Mistakes surface only after the IRS rejects the application
  • Start over the ITIN Application process if the Form W-7 gets denied

With a Certifying Acceptance Agent

  • Keep your passport safe — certified copies of documents are mailed
  • The W-7 is prepared and certified by a CAA before it is submitted
  • Submitted through a formal agreement with the IRS ITIN Policy Section

MiklosCPA Inc. is an IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent.

Who We Help

Common situations where you need an ITIN

  • Spouses & Dependents

    Your spouse or family member is listed on a U.S. tax return to claim a tax benefit, but they do not have a Social Security Number.

  • Non-Residents

    You live outside the U.S. and need to file a U.S. tax return or claim a refund, but you do not qualify for a Social Security Number.

  • Tax Matters

    You have a U.S. tax obligation (such as a tax refund, a tax treaty benefit, or investment income) and need a tax ID to file or reduce your taxes.

  • Students, Researchers & Work Authorized

    You are a foreign student, teacher, researcher, or hold a work visa in the U.S. and need to file a tax return, but do not qualify for an SSN.

  • Estates

    A family member has passed away and a U.S. tax return needs to be filed on their behalf. An ITIN is needed for the deceased person.

  • Special Tax Situations

    In some situations, the IRS allows you to apply for an ITIN without a full tax return, such as for bank interest, real estate transactions, or partnership income.

If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you do not need an ITIN. Apply for a Social Security Number instead.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ITINs and the CAA process.

What is an ITIN and why do I need one?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a nine-digit number from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the United States tax office. It is like a tax Identification Number. You need it if you have to pay or report taxes in the United States, but you cannot get a Social Security Number (SSN) because you are not a permanent resident or United States citizen.
Who is eligible to apply for an ITIN?
You can apply for an ITIN if you need to file taxes in the United States but cannot get an SSN. Some examples: a person from another country who earns money in the United States, a foreign student or researcher, or a foreign spouse or child listed on a United States tax form.
What documents do I need to get started?
You’ll need a valid passport, your reason for needing an ITIN, and personal information such as your foreign address and United States contact details. Additional supporting documents may be required based on your eligibility category.
What documents do I need to submit?
A passport is the easiest option — if you send your passport (or an official copy), you do not need any other documents. If you do not have a passport, you must send at least two documents that together prove your identity and that you are from another country. As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, we verify your documents and return them to you — you never need to mail your original passport to the Internal Revenue Service.
What is the difference between an Acceptance Agent (AA) and a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA)?
An Acceptance Agent (AA) can help you fill out your application and send it to the Internal Revenue Service, but you will still need to mail your original passport to the Internal Revenue Service. A Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) can verify your identity and check your documents in person, make certified copies, and return your originals to you right away. For most people, using a CAA is the better choice because it is safer, faster, and easier.
Are spouses and dependents eligible for an ITIN?
From 2018 onward, a spouse or child cannot get or renew an ITIN unless they qualify for a tax benefit or they file their own tax return. A tax benefit means the government reduces the amount of tax you owe. They must be listed on a United States tax return, and the return must show which tax benefit they are claiming. Some examples of tax benefits include: filing a tax return together with a spouse, claiming money back for education costs (AOTC), healthcare costs (PTC), childcare costs (CDCC), or for supporting a dependent family member (ODC).
Do I need to attach a tax return with my application?
Most ITIN applicants must include a United States tax return with their ITIN application. However, some ITIN applicants do not need to include a tax return. There are special situations where this is allowed. Some examples are: if you receive certain types of investment income; you receive scholarship money; or you are selling property in the United States.
How long will processing take?
After you send your application, the Internal Revenue Service will usually contact you within 7 weeks. It may take 9 to 11 weeks during peak tax season (January to April) or if you are applying from outside the United States.
What are the common reasons ITIN applications get rejected?
The most common reasons include: incomplete or incorrect Form W-7, insufficient supporting documents, documents that do not meet IRS requirements, missing tax return, and expired identification documents. Using a CAA significantly reduces the chance of rejection because we review everything before submission.
Does an ITIN give me work authorization or Social Security benefits?
No. An ITIN is for tax purposes only. It does NOT give you permission to work in the United States and does NOT change your immigration status.
What if my ITIN application is rejected?
We will contact the Internal Revenue Service to see how to amend your application and re-submit it. As your CAA, we handle any follow-up correspondence so you don't have to.
