An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is an identification number given by the IRS to individual taxpayers for tax filing purposes. If you don’t have a Social Security Number (SSN), then you may need to apply for an ITIN.
Filing your ITIN application or renewal with our IRS Acceptance Agent (AA) costs $79 and takes 8 to 12 weeks to process.
Filing your ITIN application or renewal with our IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) costs an additional $59 and takes 3 to 5 weeks to process, while also allowing you to keep all of your important documents during this processing period.
A Certifying Acceptance Agent is authorized by the IRS to help individuals who don’t qualify for an SSN apply for an ITIN. The acceptance agent facilitates the process of filling out forms and reviewing documentation in the ITIN application process.
