Get Your ITIN Application Right the First Time

Form W-7 preparation and document review for foreign owners of U.S. companies. Prepared in house by an accountant with IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent credentials.

An ITIN is the nine-digit tax processing number the IRS issues to people who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number but are not eligible for a Social Security Number.

If you are a nonresident owner of a U.S. LLC or corporation, a resident alien, a spouse or a dependent with a U.S. filing obligation, this is the number the IRS expects on your return.

The application itself is one page. That is what makes it dangerous. Most rejections come from three things the form never warns you about.

AS SEEN ON

WHAT YOU GET

Your W-7 is prepared and reviewed in house by an accountant with IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent credentials.

Form W-7 completed line by line, with the reason code or exception that matches your company structure
Full document review before anything is mailed, checked against the current Form W-7 instructions
Written instructions telling you exactly which documents to obtain and how they must be certified, before you spend a dollar on couriers or agency fees
One point of contact from submission to approval
Guidance after your number is issued, including the rule that voids an ITIN not used on a federal return for three consecutive years

WHAT WE DO NOT PROMISE

We cannot make the IRS move faster. The IRS states 7 weeks for processing, and 9 to 11 weeks for applications filed between January 15 and April 30 or sent from outside the United States.

No service changes that. What we control is that your package arrives complete, so those weeks are the only weeks you wait.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SEND

Before you order, know what the process requires.

A valid passport is the only document that establishes both identity and foreign status on its own. Without it, you need at least two other documents, one of them with a photograph.
Documents must be originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. Notarized photocopies are not accepted.
Plan for your passport to be unavailable while the IRS holds it. If you have travel booked, tell us before you order and we will tell you whether to file now or wait.

We say this upfront because the alternative is you finding out after you have paid.

FOR COMPANIES WITH SEVERAL FOREIGN MEMBERS

If your U.S. LLC has more than one foreign member, we handle the whole set as one engagement. Same reason code logic, same document standard, same reviewer, one status update covering everyone.

PRICING

A simple and unique price: $397 per applicant

Every application includes our First Submission Guarantee. If we get it wrong, the refiling and its costs are on us.

OUR FIRST SUBMISSION GUARANTEE

If the IRS rejects your application because of an error we made, we do not just refile. We absorb the cost of getting it back on the IRS desk.

That means we cover:

The full resubmission, with no new service fee
Tracked courier shipping for the new package
Reissuing any agency-certified copies you have to obtain again

You paid once. An error on our side does not turn into a second bill.

What counts as our error:

An incorrect or mismatched reason code on Form W-7
A field we completed incorrectly, left blank or filled with the wrong data
A submission we approved despite a documentation defect we should have caught in review

What is outside the guarantee:

Documents you supplied that were expired, altered or issued under a different name than the one on the application
Information you provided that was inaccurate or incomplete
A change in your circumstances after submission
Rejections based on IRS discretion, policy changes or a determination that you do not qualify for an ITIN

To use the guarantee, forward us the IRS notice within 90 days of the date on the letter. We take it from there.

We would rather spend the review time upfront than pay for a second attempt. That is exactly why the review is thorough.

Reviewed by a U.S. accountant before submission. Covered by our First Submission Guarantee. MyUSAService is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

FAQ

Do I actually need an ITIN?

You need one if you have a U.S. federal tax filing or reporting obligation and you are not eligible for a Social Security Number. The most common case is a foreign individual who owns a share of a U.S. LLC or corporation and has to file or be reported on a U.S. return. If you are not sure, tell us your situation before you order. Some people who think they need an ITIN do not.

What is the difference between an ITIN, an EIN and an SSN?

An SSN is for individuals authorized to work in the United States. An EIN identifies a business entity. An ITIN identifies an individual for tax purposes only, when that individual cannot get an SSN. Your U.S. company has an EIN. You, as a foreign owner, may separately need an ITIN.

Does an ITIN give me the right to work or live in the United States?

No. An ITIN is issued for federal tax purposes. It does not grant work authorization, immigration status or eligibility for Social Security benefits.

Does my U.S. company need an ITIN?

No. Companies use an EIN. The ITIN applies to individuals.

Do I need an ITIN to open a PayPal Business or bank account?

Usually not. A business account for a U.S. company is generally opened under the company EIN. Requirements vary by provider, so check with the institution directly. We do not sell an ITIN as a workaround for account opening.

How long does the IRS take?

The IRS states 7 weeks from receipt, and 9 to 11 weeks for applications submitted between January 15 and April 30 or filed from outside the United States. That timeline belongs to the IRS. No service, ours included, shortens it.

Do I have to send my original passport, and will I be without it?

A valid passport is the only document that establishes both identity and foreign status on its own. It must be an original or a copy certified by the agency that issued it. A notarized photocopy is not accepted. If you do not submit a passport, you need at least two other qualifying documents, one bearing a photograph. Plan for the document to be unavailable during processing. If you have travel booked in the next few months, tell us before you order and we will advise whether to file now or wait.

Can I just file Form W-7 myself?

Yes. The IRS charges nothing to process it. What you pay us for is the review that keeps it from coming back three months later. If your situation is simple and you are confident on the reason code and the documentation standard, filing yourself is a reasonable choice.

Do I need to attach a tax return?

Most applicants do. The return is what tells the IRS why the number is needed. A limited set of exceptions applies instead, each with its own documentation requirements. Part of our review is determining which path applies to you.

Does an ITIN expire?

Yes. An ITIN that does not appear on a federal tax return for three consecutive years is deactivated. Renewal follows the same document rules as a first application.

What happens if my application is rejected?

The IRS mails a notice explaining the reason. If the rejection traces to an error we made, our First Submission Guarantee covers the resubmission, the tracked shipping and the cost of reissuing any certified copies you need again. If the rejection comes from something outside our control, we tell you exactly what the IRS objected to and what it takes to fix it.

Who prepares my application?

Your W-7 is prepared and reviewed in house by an accountant with IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent credentials.

Can you file for several members of the same company?

Yes. We handle up to five applicants as a single engagement, with one reviewer and one status update covering everyone.
