What Is an ITIN?

A Tax Number With a Very Specific Job

An ITIN is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS for federal tax purposes. It may be needed by someone who must file or be included on a U.S. tax return but is not eligible to receive a Social Security number.

An ITIN is not a work permit, immigration benefit, or replacement for a Social Security number. It simply allows the IRS to process qualifying tax returns and related tax matters.

Who May Need an ITIN?
