If you are a foreign national doing business in the US, there is a good chance you will have to file your personal tax return with the IRS. If so, you will be asked to also apply for a individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN. TaxLeaf Town N Country can help you apply for this using the W-7 Form and a copy of your passport.

What Do I Need to Get My ITIN number?

The IRS does not allow everybody to request a ITIN number. You must have a valid reason to file for your ITIN number. In most cases, this can be done when filing your personal tax return. Other situations where this may apply are FIRPTA and Section 8 Properties. In either case, TaxLeaf Town N Country will call the IRS on your behalf to request one.
