Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)’s are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have a U.S. filing or reporting requirement under the Internal Revenue Code. ITIN is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). If you do not have a SSN and are not eligible to obtain a SSN, but you have a requirement to furnish a federal tax identification number or file a federal income tax return, you must apply for an ITIN. But if you have an application for a SSN pending, do not file for an ITIN. Complete forms for an ITIN only if the Social Security Administration (SSA) notifies you that a SSN cannot be issued; after you have submitted your application for SSN.
