As one of two Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) locations in Spokane, WA, we can assist you in applying for your ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number) in person.
An ITIN is a tax processing number issued by the IRS. The 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).
By applying for an ITIN in-person using the services of an IRS-authorized Certified Acceptance Agent you will not have to mail your proof of identity and foreign status documents to the IRS. Allowing the IRS to hold them for up to the seven weeks (on average) while the IRS processes your application. As a CAA we can monitor, follow-up and assist you should any issues arise.
Additionally, preparation of your tax return as a foreign national could be more complicated than the average taxpayer, you may need someone who is aware of treaty agreements or possible exceptions available to you. These all situations Weathers & Associates has experience with.
